Art history

“I 've always said art is a revolution that makes people feel good.” Richard Prince, an artist himself, explains here that art is abstract, entirely up to the interpreter. Literature comes in all forms: poetry, novels, short stories and in various other demonstrations.

In our current society, Hume’s perspective on art, however…

Philosophers and artists have been sharing their beliefs on the argument of art for…

Elbert Hubbard once said “Art is not a thing; it is a way.” Art is all around us; from the floor we walk on, to the color of the walls around us, to the music we listen to on the radio. Many kids have taken on a lot of different forms that did not exist many years ago.
