In our roller-coaster economy, we're getting pretty good at distinguishing between wants and needs. We want something new and pretty, but we need to eat. No fun. Lucky for us, some new and pretty things are free to enjoy. Like art. Artist Phillipe Bertho pays homage to the greatest intangible in his show All You Need Is Love, which blends trompe l'oeil, surrealism and portraiture to depict different representations of human emotion. All You Need Is Love sees its final weekend at the Martin Lawrence Gallery, 13355 Dallas Parkway. (Inside Saks Fifth Avenue at Galleria Dallas.) Admission is free. Call 972-716-5335.
