Continuing the previous post, this piece asks: what do we admire about art?
Art is a creative approach to doubt.
The expression of not wanting to die, of the essential will to live.
Art is the belief, if unconscious, in a timeless conversation, in the continuity and community of humankind.
The expression of wo/men’s best side.
Art is humble, stubborn, idealistic and naïve, self-confident, desperate and pretentious.
Art is the acceptance of not knowing.
The certitude of another, eternal truth, perceived sensually. And the search for expressing and capturing it.
Art is the vision of a peaceful world, freed from necessity and need [greed].
The manifestation of humans as social and creative beings.
Art is disciplined, playful, rigid and abundant, considerate and arbitrary; enforced trance.
Art is love, rendered in image and material. Art is violence directed towards hope.
The materialization of human essence.
