Still trying to figure it out: What is art?



I’ve been thinking about this for a long time. Today I was weeding a flowerbed and this occurred to me.

Many people can make images, especially with the availability of sophisticated technology and the support of social media.Thus, much gets called art.

But the measure of art is not so much in the image as in its maker. Art comes as a consequence of sustained commitment, personal vision, an ego under control, humility, generosity toward the viewer, courage, engagement with the world and a willingness to work hard.

Then it occurred to me that, with a little tweaking, this could be definition of true love.
