What Is Art

Can art exist without sentiment? Can it debut without a concept behind it? Can it breathe into a soul without it? Can it truly be art when its meaning is not or shrouded? First things first – what is art? It’s experience and skill is its counterpart Yet more simply, it’s something thought as beautiful But beauty of itself is merely dull Something dull, needless to mention, is devoid of a soul Therefore we must consider the writer and the written as a whole The artist and the art, the molder, and the clay falling apart The potter and his soul that led him to buy the material from the mart So the creator has a soul that exercises will Otherwise nothing would be created – all would remain still Only those with souls create things that thrill The eyes of spectators, even though art has no soul but is real
