Defining Art on the Web

Art comes from the Latin word ars, which is loosely translated to mean arrangement or arrange. "Art is all creative human endeavors excluding actions directly related to survival and reproduction." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/art

"Art will remain the most astonishing activity of mankind born out of struggle between wisdom and madness, between dream and reality in our mind."

--Magdalena Abakandwicz
