RE: What Is Art?

So many different forms of art. It can be expression. Capturing a thought, capturing a moment. But what comes to mind for me in photography is capturing beauty through your eye and sharing it with others. We are all in this world together but each individual sees it differently. What we share with each other is an expression of our vision. An expression of what each of us finds to be beautiful or unique. If you feel a similar way, thank you for sharing your perspective. :)

I tend to gravitate towards the interesting more so than the beautiful but for the most part we seem to view it similarly.

At the same time, I'm reminded of Plato's Allegory of the Cave, in that our descriptions/definitions of art have more to do with what we perceive and less with what it is.

Thanks for dropping by and sharing!

Yes, I like that Plato view. I always say, we're all running around in our own little universes. When we stop to listen or appreciate someone's else perspective (universe) we can travel through space!
