What is Art?

Art is different things to different people. Some people consider art to be limited to paintings and drawings while others include everything and anything as long as it has meaning and appeals to the senses and emotions. Some artists, such as Elizabeth Murray, create work with no intentions and see what happens while others, such as Vija Celmins, have a specific object or image they are trying to re-create. To me, art is a way to express oneself and that can include any type of art form, even the radical works of Matthew Barney.
