The original intention of the arts of all kinds , and the best purposes of its messaging or imagery are realised when a particular exhibition induces people to think or feel differently about a particular subject ,  or in much deeper terms , deep philosophically based musings can occure reflecting on the many mysterious life happenings that surround us , both locally or universally. The greatest of the artist messaging  will always be worthy to hear or see or contemplate . Human beings need to be encouraged to think carefully and deeply, and with sensitivities for all brings , artisans help in this mindset .The Vedas have particular portions dedicated to the arts and their crucial messaging. Good art is also based on dualism and the in-depth searches for answers. Good art also reflects the beauty and mysterious workings of our universe and will always point to a reasoning behind everything.

In these days of scientific materialism and Darwinian hypothesis , indicating one life one death , the arts and the artists have sadly declined in quality and have become a shadow of their former selves . There are no mass protests even if mass killings take place , not like the 1960s. Artists have become shallow and accepting and are embedded into a perverse system.
We see even politically, the artists of today are in a sorry state , they are commercially driven and careful not to upset the apple cart .
Unlike, for instance, John Lennon among others in the mid-60s .

Here is Ai take ..

Art is a vast field of human creativity expressing ideas, emotions, and skills through various mediums like painting, sculpture, music, literature, or performance, aiming to evoke experiences, beauty, or thought, stemming from Latin roots meaning “skill” or “craft”.

Vedic arts are of many kinds , everyone of them delve into the consciousness journey and the wonders of universal affairs, which reflects the greater consciousness of Divinity along with His peace and justice..

More on this soon .
