Art For Art's Sake


Art is a beautiful medium to express oneself. It gives one complete freedom to express all emotions with no set boundaries.

But every time one uses art to express, emote, to establish supremacy, for financial purposes , the art no longer remains pure and true because then there is some added element that takes it away from what it should have been originally.

“Art for Art’s sake ” is best expressed in mindless doodles and afrt forms that just take art forward.

It is an odd incident that can be cited here, which seems to be an apt example when once , alongwith a friend, I used lipstick at paint, smearing it on paper with our hands.

The outcome looked good to us, probably because we had no specific expectations from it.it was just an effort to  create something.

It is important to relish art for what it is, to practise it for the joy it gives us, to take it forward and just use it as a means to achieve something.

  1. If ur an artist then i would have been fine with this. But ur an architect the outcome should
    look good at the same time the person who lives in the building should also feel comfortable its the primary objective of ur design.

  2. Each and every piece of art has its own life and it conveys to us in a way how we look on to it.. Yo have given out an example of smearing lipstick on paper with hands, it conveys something to your mind which made yo think tat it came out well.. So even this small piece of art have life which conveyed something..
