Comment on the Stephen Sondeim quote about art

STEPHEN SONDHEIM (composer/producer) Sondheim’s work as a composer-lyricist over the past four decades has set the standard for modern American musical theater. He has won a record seven Tony Awards for his songwriting and received a Pulitzer Prize for Sunday in the Park with George. SUNDAY IN THE PARK WITH GEORGE – 1984 Sunday in the Park with George is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by James Lapine. The musical was inspired by the painting "A Sunday Afternoon on the Island of La Grande Jatte" by Georges Seurat. A complex work revolving around a fictionalized Seurat immersed in single-minded concentration while painting his masterpiece and the people in that picture, the Broadway production opened to mixed reviews in 1984.
