Art asks people to stop and look and then consider what they are seeing.  . That belief has shaped Jeffrey H. Loria for decades as a student of art history, a private art dealer, a collector, an author, and a supporter of museums and universities.

For Jeffrey H. Loria, the value of art is not limited to possession or even public recognition. His view begins with a more basic idea: art communicates. It conveys feeling, memory, cultural tension, private grief, family tenderness, political change, and the questions people often struggle to put into words.
