What is Art for?


You might think this is a simple answer
After all, we know how to say most things like this
Or that
People flocked to the museum as before.
So they must have their own motives.
But when it comes to art, people become weird and don’t dare to ask what it is too directly.
because
Ok, except everyone you know the answer.
This may be too obvious
Maybe too complicated
The result is a silent silence
And a lot of confusion.
But also art is what maybe shouldn’t be hard to say.
Maybe we can give some fairly clear purpose to art.
Here are five things that art might be able to do for us:
This is an obvious but compelling fact, the most popular art work in the world.
Beautiful things: happy people, spring flowers, blue sky.
This is the best-selling postcard at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.
Its popularity is due to cute concerns. People wonder if anyone has forgotten
What is life like?
But this kind of worry does not seem to be necessary. We need beautiful things to approach us, not because we have
Forget the danger of bad things, but because terrible things are so heavy to us
Let us be in danger of falling into despair and frustration.
This is why beautiful things. It is a symbol of hope and a symbol of achievement.
Those beautiful things, like those flowers, the blue sky and the children running on the grass,
Keep it for us as hope, until we need it.
This world often wants us to wear a happy mask.
But under the mask, there are a lot of sadness and regret, we can’t express
Because fear is weird or like a loser.
One thing art can do is to make sure that pain is the norm.
This is a sad thing for us.
Some of the world’s greatest works of art are loved,
It is to make our inner pain more publicly visible and usable.
Like a sad music, melancholy art does not make us depressed…
… instead, they can give us a welcome feeling that pain is part of human life.
False optimism of art against commercial society
Its existence has dignity reminding us of every good life
There are many confusions, pains, loneliness and misfortune in them.
Therefore, we should not add to the feeling of sadness.
Don’t be surprised by the experience of too much sadness.
Each of us is somewhat unbalanced to some extent.
We are too intellectual or too emotional, too masculine or too feminine,
Too calm or too excited…
The art we love often attracts us because it compensates us.
What is missing: it balances us.
When we are touched by a piece of art, this may be because it contains the quality of a concentrated dose.
Very needed in our lives.
Maybe it is full of the peace we envy, we have not enough
Maybe it has the gentleness we desire, our current work and relationships
Very lacking
Or it is full of pain and drama, we have to restrain,
But still want to contact.
Sometimes the whole society falls in love with some artistic style.
Because it tries to rebalance itself, like France at the end of the eighteenth century.
This requires David as its decadent correction, or the UK looks like it was in the 19th century.
Like the influence of the pre-Raphaelite against the brutal industrialization
The art that a country or a person calls “beauty” gives you
They are missing important clues.
Under the power of art, it can help us to be more rounded, more balanced and more rational.
The media constantly gives us hints about what is fascinating and important.
Art also tells us what is fascinating and important, but fortunately,
Since you have not been invited to the Oscars again this year,
It usually chooses something very different.
Dürer makes the grass look radiant
Constance draws attention to the sky
Van Gogh reminds us that oranges are also worthy of attention.
Duchamp challenges us to re-examine seemingly ordinary things
These artists are not hypocritical landscaping but better neglect,
They justly pick out a value that has been neglected by the world, and it is severely distorted and truly unfair.
Art makes it return to its proper place,
Highlight what is truly worthy of appreciation.
Good art is more like propaganda; that encourages you to struggle
Or what the government wants to support
But one way to think about art is that it is a kind of propaganda, in a sense a tool
Used to ignite and ignite you, just to promote the world
Some of the most important and beautiful emotions and attitudes,
It uses its skills to create new appeal and accessibility.
This may be a promotion of simple life.
Or need to expand the field of vision
Or a more playful, gentle lifestyle
This is a kind of power, letting the best side of sex stand up and give them a platform
And an authority in a noisy, scattered world.
For a long time, art itself has attracted too much reverence and mystery.
In its existence, we are like someone who meets a very famous person. We become stiff and lost
Our spontaneity.
We should relax, just as music has done for us:
And learn to use its true meaning: as a better self for us
Sources of constant support and encouragement.
