Art is like television in that it is an escape from place. Art a concrete suggestion of intergrated realities. Art provides ongoing proof of one's existance and worth. Art captures fleeting human experience. Art is blind faith in the belief that we can achieve perfection.
Art are artifacts of the creative process.
Art is aesthetic expression of Gestalt principles of vision. Art can only be appreciated as intended by its own people in its own time and place. Art can be a memory stimulant producing nostalgia. Art is snapshots of one's creative growth or lack thereof. Art records historic creative insight and inspiration.
