Art for art’s sake or art for life sake

Before we begin characterizing it, we need to define this complex phenomenon i.e. art.

Art can be looked upon as the act of progressively arranging facets in a mode which is appealing to our eyes and brain.
Art is something which can neither be created nor destroyed; it’s a process which continues from an era to another, where different individuals add to it.
The process of art starts from the mind itself, developes from the thoughts and expressed in different ways. Every individual has his own way of perceiving and expressing art.

But the mechanical world of today has changed the tradition of art.
The mechanical lifestyle has lead to the mechanization of art itself. People are not interested in creating art, but using art for opening materialistic avenues. They invest in it just for the sake of filling up galleries or other such inferior purposes.
Art for art’s sake – sadly, this is what we have come to.
Art does not need to be created. It is omnipresent, needs to be recognized and felt.
I personally believe art is objectivist, which takes on various forms and moulds according to the view of observer.
It is rightly said “beauty lies in the eyes of beholder”.
Art is beautiful and it certainly lays it open to be perceived as whatever observer’s sub-conscious desires.

Art adds a different dimension to our mundane life. Life without art in it will leave us as living forms with artificial intelligence.

Each and every human being has same mechanical functioning of brain and body, what makes us different is our thoughts, skills, talent and ability or in a single word that’s art.
