Simplicity in Art.

 Art matters the same way language matters -- or the way breathing matters! It is a fundamental component of what makes us uniquely human.

Art is all about beauty & ugliness.

The Artist is a part of the universe giving expression to the ideals of its own eternal beauty & unchanging law.It is not necessary for all art to be beautiful, now terrible but always with that living quality which transcends the limited conceptions of beauty & ugliness. Nature is sometimes soft & smiling, sometimes also red in tooth & clew;in her life & death are found. Creation, preservation & destruction are equally her work. Her images may therefore be beautiful or terrible. Art is about beauty & ugliness both at same time.

Art...expression of joy.

The art is not a faithful photographic reproduction of nature but it is an idealization of nature and individualization of eternal beauty.
The purpose is more important than need. And the purpose behind the art give the meaning to it.Art is the world recreated by human out of the material provided by nature with the help of creativity & imagination he has been gifted with.
