Art and the Intellect

[image error]

All art, whether it’s painting, literature, music or philosophy, is a crafting of ideas that some clever people will be able, or at least think they will be able, to understand.

By removing the ideas (the ideal) from Art, we lose the art itself.

Art, being fundamentally an exhibition of ideas, creates its own academic environment. Art invites thinking, it could even be said that it seduces us towards reflectiveness.

If constant reflexiveness is an essential part of human potential and the sapiens spirit embedded there, then art is a necessary agent for unlocking and developing those possibilities.
