I like this question "And what is more pleasing or beautiful than a mystery?" and a thought came to mind as I understand it. Answer: beautiful and true to life art. Please do not get me wrong, I believe one is but a student his or her entire life but when one learns from the master artist then and only then one has a chance to understand the mystery of true art.

"That search for meaning to the elusive mystery causes us to go on searching, and creating art." Here, I believe "the elusive mystery" will always be if one does not recognize the simple signs of masterful work.
Yes I understand what your saying, but yet I can't agree completely. You see many people have different ideas about what they recognize and consider a masterful work. What is recognized and appreciated as great art by some may not be true for others, this is how it should be, freedom of thought and opinion. The mystery I'm speaking of isn't entirely based upon the simple signs of a masterful work as you have stated. I don't think masterful work's of art were simply or easily achieved. The mystery I am speaking of is the force that drives an artist to continue developing his art, the artists evolution of progress. The compulsion that stimulates one to create and grow until mastery is achieved. You might say the spirit behind great works of art, The word spirit itself implies a sense of mystery. What is mysterious is why certain works of art stand out individually as great or masterful. It cant be just technique alone. This is where a work of art touches the human soul in a profound way like spirit, and invisible elusive force. A combination of both technique and human emotion.

And for the viewer, the individual who has an appreciation of certain works of art that they consider outstanding. For them this awareness, conviction and recognition of certain works of art and the artists who create them is extremely diverse in taste and opinion. Just as the multitudes of people themselves with no two personalities alike. Basically what is great for some may not be for others.
