What do you mean by “authentic”? Authentically empathic? Empathy for whom?

Empathy is found in deep rooted authenticity, and for some, painting is most nearly itself as abstraction. There are some of us (many? perhaps mostly painters) believing that painting has the most capacity for empathy in abstraction because the newness of its space may provide relief from all other spaces as poetry does. Mimicry too easily forgets the poetry that soothes as music does, abstractly.
