Art is work.
A cup of tea, a painting, a footstool, growing vegetables, reciting poetry.
The object is to live as a human, which is subjective.

To ennoble reality

The objective of art is to communicate something. Like all communication, it's based on context, and that context is lost over time. Old "art" is nothing more than decoration unworthy of notice. If a piece of art has managed to avoid surrendering its message for a long enough time, it has failed as art. The world is full of unsolved mysteries, so an ancient piece that has failed to communicate anything is worth no more than any random rock that has not had its path through the world meticulously tracked.

Alternatively, art is a human's failed attempt to communicate with the normalfags. They clap and hoot for the funny crying man to make another.

All great works of art have had their spirit diffused into the societies that they are a part of. The "original" is just an empty seed shell.
