What is art

“The arts are the field on which we place our own dreams, thoughts and desires alongside those of others, so that solitude’s can meet, to their joy sometimes, or to their surprise, and sometimes to their disgust. When you boil it all down, that is the social purpose of art: the creation of mutuality, the passage from feeling into shared meaning.”
