L’art pour l’art?
An Overdue Critique on Modern Art
I must admit that defining art is no easy task. Art as a concept is broad and fleeting, intangible and elusive; some consider it a luxury, while others claim it is essential. Needless to restate, art is, and remains, a divisive topic charged with sensitivity. It is an open field staging passions and novelties, a barn sheltering delirium and mania. The most sensitive and egotistical among us are often drawn to the arts. Art is a lot of different things for different people. In essence, it is something built on sensations and shaped by perceptions, making it so hard to grasp.
