What does art mean to you?

🙏

"Real artists are the druids of the present.
Magic born out of silence is the answer to our challenges."

Artists don`t act by being someone
but by vanishing and leaving the show to mother nature.

To me Art means freedom. It allows me to do as I want, paint at the spur of the moment. If I 'plan' Art, it could become kind of mechanical which I don't like it to be.

Art is an expression of human imagination. Alcohol and Drugs have an influence on imagination. I guess problem start when someone try to live in an imaginary world using Alcohol and Drugs.

nothing i just like to watch it

Feeling inner peace and releasing anger from within

I like this answer. Are you an artist yourself, or do you experience this when looking at art?

To me, it's a mean of communication when words lack. By word, I essentially mean the act of speaking, because you could find a way to communicate by writting, and often, the way someone writes is different from the way people speak.

I was very lucky to meet an artist. It changed my life. He is an artist of life. Does that always come together?
Do you have to drink a lot of alcohol and use drugs to be an artist? Or do you have a responsibility to sense time quality and express it? Where are we heading to?
In the past artists often were ahead of their time. They hung around together and influenced each other.
On this site I already met some very interesting person. Are there any more artists, life artists or friends of art?

I love to hear from you.....Christine

Im not an artist, but sometimes i like it, sometimes its beautyfull.

For me, as someone said, "Art is the feeling of human things combined with the presentiment of divine things". Maybe it's too romantic a concept? But we already find ourselves in the current reality, there is a need for a "beyond".

My mom and i like to go to museums but my dad doesnt really like it and thinks it is boring. But when i go with my mom she can be in front of a painting and tell me that she likes it BUTTT she does not normally say why. And that is super frustrating bc i want to also understand from others how you look at art and WHY people like for example one painting but not another painting or art work.

Is there anybody in this forum who would like to discuss also not art generally but to have for example 4 pictures of paintings or other arts and everybody can tell what they like or dont like about it? I would really be interested in it and to learn what others like and how they look. And i can also tell what i think. 🙂

I know that normally on 🌞-day the forum is more quiet but perhaps if people are also interested we can write below any time in the week. I think it may be really nice to discuss it that way too!! 🥰🥰

EDIT: I do not want to change the subject in this forum without permission of Christine so i made a new forum: Opinion about specific paintings and art works and i mentioned there this forum bc i think they are SUPER good together like a TWIN!!! 🙂

Yeah, you can put on some paintings and I'll give my opinion on it! 😄

For me it means de-stressing

Oh, just today I had some conversation, about what the art truly is, since today some people call bananas glued to the wall "art". Oh, or the performance I saw, where one guy pours a bucket of water on the floor, and other guy walks through it, and it's also called "art", just because author calls it like this.

Do anyone have some thoughts about that?

I don't think that's art. That's people who really can't paint or sm and just do something, think of an appropriate meaning behind it and then it's tada; art!

I agree with @Oxiu and @-Kiki- wrote that i also dont understand it. For me it is not art i like. BUTTTT i do want to know why they do that as art. Maybe if they tell more about it at least we understand WHYY they do it. But i like art more like what you see in museums. Also modern art but normally i like other art more. 🙂

For giving a rational answer for this question, we have to ask another question first: " What do we define as art?" At this very point, I shall take advantage of Hegel's philosophy of art. In Hegel’s view, sensuous expression of free spirit constitutes beauty. The purpose of art, for Hegel, is thus the creation of beautiful objects in which the true character of freedom is given sensuous expression. The principal aim of art is not, therefore, to imitate nature, to decorate our surroundings, to prompt us to engage in moral or political action, or to shock us out of our complacency. Art is there not just for art’s sake, but for beauty’s sake, that is, for the sake of a distinctively sensuous form of human self-expression and self-understanding.

Perhaps Hegel’s most important legacy, however, lies in the claims that art’s task is the presentation of beauty and that beauty is a matter of content as well as form. Beauty, for Hegel, is not just a matter of formal harmony or elegance; it is the sensuous manifestation in stone, color, sound or words of spiritual freedom and life. Such beauty takes a subtly different form in the classical and romantic periods and also in the different individual arts. In one form or another, however, it remains the purpose of art, even in modernity.

Hegel’s judgment that modern artists are—and are quite rightly—free to adopt whatever style they please has surely been confirmed by the history of art since Hegel’s death in 1831. There is reason to suspect, however, that Hegel might not have welcomed many of the developments in post-Hegelian art. This is due to the fact that, although he does not lay down any rules that are to govern modern art, he does identify certain conditions that should be met if modern art is to be genuine art.

Hegel notes, for example, that such art should “not contradict the formal law of being simply beautiful and capable of artistic treatment” Hegel’s stance may well look conservative but from my point of view he's absolutely right. Art must be something beyond glues and bananas. Genuine art is to bring the marble to life, to ascelete an upper realm by tunes, to reach intelligible expressions by the words, to blow the spirit upon the harmony of shades and so on.
