I would say that is a consequence of good art. The purpose of art itself is for the artist to share their perception of something with others. Like a painter painting something mundane, but the way he sees it makes it interesting. If this is done well it can allow others to see something from a viewpoint other than their own, and maybe it will have an effect on how they perceive their own ideas, ethics morality etc by experiencing good art.

>the purpose

shut up fascist!

All true art is the embodiment of a provident deity. Apollo is encapsulated in Greek sculpture and you can hear God behind every note of Mozart. Art without religion is impossible.

The purpose of art is to burn some time inbetween eating, shitting, sleeping, and hopefully penis in vagina pumping

>>14763691
Yes.

The purpose of art is whatever you make it. It's why someone will feel nothing viewing a piece, while others will froth at the mouth and speak of its excellence.

>>14763691
The very opposite. The purpose of art is to occupy you for awhile so you don't have to fill the void by contemplating philosophy.

>>14763772
You seem a little stupid.

>>14763796
You seem a lot stupid.

>>14763797
>>14763796
I think you both are pretty cool.

>>14763771
To an artist?

>>14763691
purpose of art is to not kill yourself both as artist and audience. It's a lie though and all art does is prove life is worthless.

>>14763771
This is the laziest, most brainlet take possible.
If someone feels that art is inconsequential to them then they by definition are irrelevant to the discussion.
People like you are insectoids. All you are doing is muddying the waters with your insipid, inclusive bullshit.

>>14763691
The purpose of art is tax fraud.

>>14763691
>higher consciousness
Or even just alternate, lateral. A left and right lens rather than some higher one. Not to be centrist, but to make the point that views art conveys aren't always/don't need to be views you're expected to take all the time.

Art is transformation. The purpose of an art should be to achieve greatness by transforming the information and experience you collect into something higher, worth admiring. Achieving greatness can elevate your soul and this can be done through art.

No, read some Camus. Seeking transcendence through art is a futile effort. Aestheticism is the only value worth pursuing. This is why music (without lyrics) is superior to literature.

Aestheticism is gay

Kandinsky’s spiritual triangle

The purpose of art is to convey an idea through a visual medium.

>>14767243

>>14763709
Holy based

>>14767243
What's the purpose of the idea

>>14767265
I was going to say generally through a visual medium, but whatever.

>>14767290
To be conveyed.

from the Metaphysics of Fine Arts
https://en.wikisource.org/wiki/The_Metaphysics_of_Fine_Art
>If the reader wishes for a direct example of the advantage which intuitive knowledge—the primary and fundamental kind—has over abstract thought, as showing that Art reveals to us more than we can gain from all the sciences, let him look at a beautiful human face, full of expressive emotion; and that too whether in nature itself or as presented to us by the mediation of Art. How much deeper is the insight gained into the essential character of man, nay, into nature in general, by this sight than by all the words and abstract expressions which may be used to describe it. When a beautiful face beams with laughter, it is as though a fine landscape were suddenly illuminated by a ray of light darting from the clouds. Therefore ridete, puellæ, ridete!

>you can hear God behind every note of Mozart
Enjoy going straight to hell you retarded deist.

>>14767332
>seething that the Gregorian chants will never reach the divine beauty of Lacrimosa.

>>14767343
Lacrimosa isn't even good you dumb normalfag. Mozart wasn't even very good, he's a corporate product of a zeitgeist.

Guenon has argued all music should be purely chanting. Music with power comes from working within an initiatory/ritualistic context. Listening to music for its own sake, is closer to a bowel movement than a transcendental act. The hylics dancing to club pop understand this fact of music having power beyond itself better than you do listening to culture industry propaganda alone.

this is big time autism

>>14763691
Sure. A yes and no really. It does more than that simple trick

>>14763691
i don't think its about contemplating highly intellectual/systematic shit like that, i think it allows you to make a spiritual connection to something and resonate with the virtue of it on something higher than an intellectual level.

I had such a crush on Fiona Apple

The sole purpose of art is to inspire others.

consumerist perspective

>>14768082
He’s wrong, but it isn’t strictly a “consumerist” perspective either

>>14768087
yes it is but i won't bother explaining it to tripfag cancer

>>14768082
>consumerism bad

>>14768095
>I have no argument and I concede
Okay, thanks

>>14768098
>can't comprehend a simple sentence
thanks for confirming that engaging with you would have been a waste of time

>>14768098
why do you worship young girls all the time?
don't you know that youth beauty and physical attraction are spooks
you don't even practice what you preach and it's pathetic considering your age

>>14768098
kill yourself tranny

>>14768108
Pretty reaction images. That’s all.
You don’t know how to play this.

>>14768102
I think I’m reading it fine, but if you wanna pretend you got away with being clever, go right ahead
