?What Is Your Understanding of Art

What follows is my understanding of Art, including the quotes I concur with.

To me art comes out of pain. When people are under hard situations and they want to find a way to escape those states, they begin to release their souls and express themselves (thoughts, desires, emotions, intuitions, and creative imaginations) through whatever possible. Although it also can be created when the creator is happy, I personally appreciate the former better. Art is aesthetics. Pleasing to our eyes whilst capable of being functional like the everyday objects we use and drawing our attention to the fine aspects of things. it enriches our mechanistic lives with feelings. It's about expressing our attitude toward the world. It's the combination of concrete and abstract. (form and content)

"Art is a way to express yourself and through that you can escape a bad situation." -Russell Simmons

"To define is to limit." -Oscar Wilde
