In his preface to "The Picture of Dorian Grey", Oscar Wilde claims that "all art is quite useless". And unless there is someone at the other end of a work of art who finds value in it, he might be right.
We went to a museum. Anthony stood in front of a painting. He said, "what is it?" I looked. It was a canvas - mostly white, with cobalt blue circles. I said, "I don't know", and he said, "like it".
I'm okay with that. ~Stacy

What is Art? Google states that: Art is "the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power." Art is the very fiber of the creative soul.
