What is art?

What is art? Not your art or my art or their art.

The art which you, me and they imagine, see, search, create and interpret.

Is art one and everyone interpret it or art that is many, everyone having their own in their imagination, creation and possession?

If art is something fundamental it should be beyond clutches of time, if universal it should be beyond anchorage of space, if state of being then rather shapeshifting.

If you found it you have given it a name, if you are still searching for it, is art the quest itself?

If its material you can define it, if its ethereal you can absorb it; if its legend you can propagate it, if its forthcoming you can embrace it.

If its static you exploit it, if its in motion you want to capture it; if in abundance you look down upon it, if it’s scarce you speculate it.

Despite the uncertainties around what art is, its human quest to grasp, define and classify it; so be it; so be pleased with your understanding, be content with your definition, and be gratified with your explanation.

So what is art? Who is to answer and whom anyone is answerable to, as we speak of art today and times to come?

Help yourself with art as you please and as it pleases you; cherish it, admire it or be at one with it!
