The Meaning Of Life
It could lie somewhere in this article:
From The Australian:
JAMES Gleeson believes that art is society's strongest link between the past, the present and the future.
And to ensure the grand tradition of Australian art continues well into the 21st century, the painter is putting all of his money - $16 million of it - where his mouth is.
In what is by far the biggest monetary donation received by the Art Gallery of NSW in its 104-year history, Gleeson has pledged his entire estate to the Sydney landmark.
"I thought about it quite seriously for a long time, and I decided that it was the logical thing for me to do," said the 91-year-old, who is considered Australia's pre-eminent surrealist painter.

Wow. That's impressive. What a legacy...
When I die, I'll leave my credit card bills...
But who will you leave them to? You might want to warn them.
