"Art upsets, science reassures." (Braque) Analyze and evaluate this claim.

Braque made this claim after his involvement in the First World War. The definition of art is "the expression or application of creative skill and imagination, especially through a visual medium such as painting or sculpture"; the definition of science is "the intellectual and practical activity encompassing the systematic study of the structure and behavior of the physical and natural world through observation and experiment". This therefore means that both art and science are human …

…other hand, I believe, is upsetting because to judge on whether art is reassuring or upsetting emotion is automatically brought into the equation, this can then blind the logic and clear knowledge that makes science correct and art upsetting to people. Art can also be very upsetting to emotions as well due to such paintings as the scream and Hiroshima. However this is only my view and many other people would look at this differently.
