Iconic 20th century abstract artist Paul Klee captured art’s role best when he said, “Art does not reproduce the visible; rather it makes the invisible, visible.”

And, true to form, since the earliest times, man has used art as a means to express the ineffable: cave paintings portrayed the fears of hunters; Greeks painted the afterlife to put a positive spin on death; and the Renaissance began using art to portray the feelings and emotions of the human mind. Nothing is perhaps more “ineffable” than trying to explain the infinite physical, psychological, and emotional nuances one experiences when living with a chronic illness. But art and especially photography can help.

These findings and more are included in the LUX Infusion education program, Camera On!: Healing and the Art of Photography—one of our top booked programs of 2021. Camera On! is appropriate for both patient and provider audiences and is centered around a hands-on photography activity.
