What is true art?

I think that it is human nature to try and define or label every aspect of life that we engage in while living on this planet. In a sense when you can make a definition to describe a subject, place, person or thing then we can possess and capture it by defining and then cause closure of the mystery. A pseudo way of conquering is the implication I'm making here. It seems until we can finally understand our minds will not rest.

Art has many definitions endless diversity, but yet there is no final definition, no exact explanation.

That is the beauty of art you can't make absolute definition, to me that is why it is called art, that sense of mystery is the fascination behind creation. And what is more pleasing or beautiful than a mystery? That search for meaning to the elusive mystery causes us to go on searching, and creating art.

If mankind ever comes up with an exact definition it will no longer be art. I predict that will never happen, art is as endless as the universe.
