Subject: Just what is ART???
Time: 9:51:00 AM EST

Art is probably, next to the concept of the Deity, the most confused "thing" that is still talked about by humans...amazing!!! This society, that boasts of modernity, is really very backwards, it lacks a concept of art, of beauty, of literature, poetry...those "backward, obscure" people of the medieval times, took time to enjoy, to discuss, to live, artistic expression, artists were considered as prophets, as priests, as special people that had something to say and people were more than willing to listen, albeit, with an analytical mind...ART, then...is a major item, no doubt about it...art is the expression of the most core and fundamental aspects of humanity...and the focus is expression, for artistic expression is the only difference between "real" art and the disciplines of design and decoration, not to say that those subject areas are meaningless, but the intention is completely different...art is made to express the deep, profound emotions of the soul, and the spirit, while design and decoration is created to sell items, they must be beautiful, functional and cost effective...art is nothing but the opposite...however, how many real artists are "really" out there practising the reality of art when in this society the meaning of things have been forgotten? Who then is a real artist, and how? Why? Where? Speak up, please...on the next issue, we shall discuss, not the "expression" as we have this time, but the "fundamental aspects of humanity".
