Art, Beauty and Aesthetics

Art is not 'Art' because it is beautiful, it is 'beautiful' because it is a
highly organized human activity resulting in a conceptually complete
product, or even a conceptually complete idea, like any other highly
organized human activity: mathematics, music, mechanics, dance, language,
writing, and on and on.

That link is a good example of the garbage that continually spews
forth from scientists having materialistic philosophical bias. Those
clowns never tire of spewing out their "hard wired into the brain"
beliefs.

Art is well-nigh impossible to define...and maybe it's better that
way.

Why do we find certain shapes, compositions and colors compelling? Could it
be through a certain ineffable emotion which is evoked when we see certain
shapes, composition, colors? For the moment, let us call them forms. I
propose that humans observe certain forms and the sensing is not available
to the language center or the rational part of the mind, however they do
experience a certain kind of attractive emotion (ineffable). Why? Emotion
associated with the recognition of certain shapes accelerates learning. It
is derived from survival mechanisms.

Art is one of the easiest concepts in the Universe
to define . Like all things that would be eternal ,
and Art to have any value to the human species
must be eternal .
