ah yes, the arts...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art...whatever form they may come...music, painting, architecture and so on and on...the one definition that i like is what wikipedia gives us...that art should show us the appreciation of beauty and the good or else without that, it diminishes its value and purpose and that is to inspire the human spirit within us. art whatever that is also defines the artists themselves. for within thy hands or minds come thy hidden make up of our souls, but this is only just me :)...art is the language of the mind made into physical forms or notes as in music as art is a creation that is defined by its creator. the more positive it is, the more acceptance it gets. the more shocking and disgusting it is, the more negatives it can draw from an audience. i think so, and you collect art for you to be inspired and entertained with it but never the opposite. it is always that way. not unless your brain is wired the wrong way, laughs. oh well.
and the best art for me is one that is created as a perfect imitation or an awfully almost exact replica, copy or duplicate of its subject...like those of john singer sargent's painted portraits. awesomely superb and the mastery of one's craft is to the highest superlative :> 10 stars for you sir, even though that you are long gone...http://jssgallery.org/index.htm
