The text under consideration is“Art for heart's Sake” written by an American sculptor, cartoonist and writer, Reuben Lucius Goldberg . He worked a lot as a cartoonist and some of his cartoons became highly popular, among his best works are Is there Doctor in the house?(1929), Rede Goldberg's Guide to Europe(1954) and I Made my Bed (1960) . The story is about an old sick man, about Mr.Ellsworth. He is very capricious and everybody are tired of his behavior. Once his doctor decides to employ a young promising artist who will teach him painting. Mr.Ellsworth is bad in painting but one of his picture is accepted for the Lathrop show and awarded 1000$.
