Directly from the artist themselves. I need the story. I need the provenance. What were they thinking when they made this? What's the story behind it? Behind them? Art to me is more than a picture on a wall, or a sculpture in the hallway. When I look at it, I see the person and their story, as well. Otherwise it is just a flat piece to me. (This is actually why I don't own any of Mark Ryden's work, despite the fact I love it.) The only exception is my print of "Wanderer Above a Sea of Fog", because it makes my heart leap every time I look at it ... and it was painted in 1818. A little hard to meet Friedrich nowadays...
