A creative work that provides the viewer with an impression of the whole, or is a comment on this archetypal form

>viewer

Profound beauty

>>11565669
how can I? something crafted by a human because of a need to do so and which might or might not produce a feel of awe, of understanding, of profoundness. Idk I’m kind of reaching with the last words there

Phenomena produced by men generally fall into two categories : Technology or art. Technology has a practical purpose while art exists as an aesthetic experience.

What's the point of this low effort thread?

Does art require a viewer?

a spook

>>11565669
perspectives sold in illusion

Does art need a purpose?

>>11565669
An expression of creativity reflecting human experience

>>11565792
>human experience

cringe

>>11565669
something useless that is deeply admired by its creator (not mine, stole it from Wilde)

A reflection of a reflection, sometimes sharp and sometimes dull. The greatest art isn't art, but pure force of truth. The worst of art is only a folly- build neither of estetic sense or of symbolic meaning. For the former, the art itself is not the end goal, the art is but a signpost in a fog.

>>11565669
A tasteful combination of aesthetics and purpose.

I know plebs when I see them, you goddamn pseud.

>>11565776
It requires a viewer with a belief of an authors existance

anything that attains a "created" quality through manipulation by an actor (logical usage)

it is the product of a creative impetus. it is a mind made manifest. it does not require an observer, and does not need to convey anything

everything, unironically

Why should I give a shit about stuff like this or consider is valuable as anything other than the equivalent of criticism?

>>11567096
It isn't. it's technology

I am.

>the sharpest knife is art
>the more acidic urine is art
>the tallest person is art

An expression of creativity.

Yes, litterally everything can be considered art, the tough question is what can be considered good or great art. For example, movies are a form of art but 95% of them don't classify as great art.

>>11567101
How do you rationalize the application of art in an "Art of War" context or similar? To me, across the board, the different ways the word "art" is applied means one thing: it means to represent whatever is regarded as the best examples in a certain category. Art of War, for example, was intended to be a compilation of the best war tactics and strategies available at the time.

>>11567104
>litterally everything can be considered art
Except what you do not derive an aesthetic experience from. Then you'd be lying to yourself if you were to rejoice in calling a thing art with those who did feel such an experience for said thing.

>>11565675
Pretentiousness trying to articulate.

Truth.

This board is such a failure.

>>11567154
Says the guy who has nothing relevant or useful to say. Stick to the topic or kill yourself, you shit.

>/lit/ is for the discussion of literature, specifically books (fiction & non-fiction), short stories, poetry, creative writing, etc. If you want to discuss history, religion, or the humanities, go to >>>/his/. If you want to discuss politics, go to >>>/pol/.

>>11567107
That's because art means art and means craft

Doing the most with the least

This applies to everything that you can apply the word art to

Its doing something so well/effortlessly that people forget that you are doing it and see only the art

>expecting 4chan edgy autists to know what art is

Are my posts 'art'?

Art's when a person articulates their skills into a medium.

Its used as a means and/or expression for transcendence

When spirituality completly dies off we get abstract forms and destructivism

When spirituality is eminent, we get patriarchal expressions, such as the doric order

Anything in between is essentially up to the bourgeois, romantic and sentimental usually

>>11568569
Fuck off Tolstoy you arrogant prick

>>11565779
the only right answer until now

>>11565669
act with an 'r'

ITT people state qualities of art that are not unique to art

>>11566769
WHat? If the category was 'art', then 'art' can only be the best examples of itself?

>>11569936
Are you implying all art is equal?

>>11566983
The soul is eternal so where does variation and stylistic development come in art?

>>11567147
Art is a fabrication, it can't be truth.

muh dick

>>11569943
No, I'm saying art can't be the best examples of itself since that is a paradox categorically

>>11565795
I get what you mean but literally all we know is the human experience

>>11565669
shared human expression
