“Understanding Art” – Question on the Reading

  • Since art is often mentioned to be a means of finding meaning or truth to oneself, would art be considered a type of psychology due to their similarities in wanting to find answers and solutions? (6)
  • Georges Seurat stated that “Art is harmony”. If art is harmony then must it not also contain chaos? Wouldn’t there have to be a sense of chaos for one to notice the harmony portrayed? (12)
  • Also as Meera stated, Leo Tolstoy expressed that “Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist has experienced.” Does this mean that even a person who has not felt the certain emotion the artist is trying to portray, would look upon the piece of art and feel it? (15)
