Art is a human activity that pays homage to something the creator contemplates, puts into abstracted form, and passes along to an audience. This “something” might be the way lovers feel towards each other, the faithful awe one holds towards God, the possible variations upon a theme, the deconstruction of time, or the way the color red looks on a cool white field.
