Creative Writing: Haiku 5

La Cellule d'Or (1892) by Odilon Redon
This was used as the cover art for Tolstoy's What is Art? and the irony is hilarious as Tolstoy was firmly against the French, impressionist, symbolists (of which this painting embodies all three)

What is Art but a
Way of life -- universal
Brotherhood, the aim

(My summary of the text in Haiku form).
