What is Art?, by Coach on Jul 17, 2010 22:40:14 GMT 1, Possibly a little heavy (for me anyway) for a Saturday night, but interesting to think about coming up with the perfact definition of art. Quite possibly impossible - like trying to define life, but these are a few I read:
Marshall McLuhan - "Art is anything you can get away with"
Tolstoy - "To evoke in oneself a feeling one has once experienced, and having evoked it in oneself, then, by means of movements, lines, colours, sounds or forms expressed in words, so to transmit that feeling that others may experience the same feeling - that is the activity of art."
Joyce - "Art is the human disposition of sensible or intelligible matter for aesthetic end"
I dont think any of these are without criticism - any better definitions out there?
