Art is Natural
In this essay, I explore three key “moments” in art history and theory which allow me to construct the argument that art is available to all and that participation in what it has to offer will of necessity develop individuals as well as collective societies. Art need not be defined in terms of traditional forms, nor is it especially rare and simply a gift or talent. Rather, it will be described as a natural disposition or state that we can all develop, the fruits of which are valuable and even suggest a utopian outcome.
Keywords: Art’s ontology; arts value; natural; utopia
