Paper Summary:
In this paper, the writings of classical Greek philosophers and Robert Hughes and Norman Cousins are used to help answer the question of "what is the purpose of art what is its effect, and what is gained by a culture's interest in it?"From the Paper:
"For many many years, efforts have been made to answer such questions as 'What is art? What is the inherent value of art? and Who determines the value or art?' (i.e. the artist or the viewer i.e. society) There are perhaps as many answers to these questions as there are artists and audiences. If we look at the works of Robert Hughes, Norman Cousins and the classical Greeks, we can discern a glimpse into the answers to these perplexing questions."More papers on What Is Art?:
