| Simply said Life is Art because Art reflects Life. -mj |
| Poplars -Monet |
| An appeal to the senses. At once an imaginative expression and an aesthetic plea. -MaxRules |
| ART is ecstasy myth mystery ART is transcendent resonant unexplainable -Paulast |
| Art is an act or product of creation, which may proceed according to certain rational principles of design, but springs chiefly, uniquely, and ultimately unpredictably, from the imagination of the artist, and fires in turn the imagination of its audience. It's our means of making matter --or action--express our human and personal desires, ideals, and fear, and cannot be quantified or duplicated. -Aurelia |
| Birth of Venus - Botticelli |
| ...for me, and my experience, art is a surprise that changes you. You find you are suddenly on a new path and an unexpected journey. Somehow this reminds me of why myths involving great journeys and exploits, with dragons and damsels (or perhaps Quintus and Maximus?) are so universally appealing. They remind us of the journey we ourselves are on. No matter who we are we have our own path to discover and our own dragons to slay. -Mindharp |

| Art is man's highest spiritual expression. Art is the redeemer of an otherwise evil affliction - human life. Art is a single-minded effort to render the highest kind of justice to the visible universe. Art is what you can get away with. --Paulast |
