In good hands art enlivens thought, ultimately cultivating existence. Art arises as a fundamental learning apparatus with a myriad of roles operating on all levels of consciousness within artist and community, irrespective of content. To pose an illustration, color is highly appealing to us because of its profound role in assisting and ensuring survival of our species. Its appeal is instinctual, providing a means of categorization and signification of our environment. If color played a negative role in adaptive evolution, it would repulse us.
Color perception is human-kinds' extraordinary agent.
The autonomous objectivity of art may be the primary, evolutionary mechanism motivating thought and indeed society, away from chaos, and closer to order.
