Art is metaphor. Art is a depiction of reality (or fantasy) that also expresses the artist's personality and skill. It is first something the artist sees, and then something others see. Art, real art, needs contact, a work that is seen (or heard, or felt, or...). In the case of visual art, the viewer participates in the creation of the art . He or she sees a painted tree as a tree and has feelings about the tree. In this way the artwork is complete. Does a tree falling in a remote forest where no one and no animal can hear it make a sound?
There is always a tension between painting for oneself and painting to communicate to others. The better the artist, the better he/she achieves both!

Art is what an artist feels. Art on Display, however needs to conform to certain unwritten norms for acceptance in society. Art needs to make a statement without blaspheming society's beliefs, cultural values, and moral standards. Nowadays, any Tom, Dick and Harry feels pompous and iconoclastic in bringing trashy, cheap, vulgar and downright shocking display as art. During WW-2, lampshades made of the tattooed skins of the concentration camp inmates was 'Art" for the Nazis, but the rest of the world was shocked by it.
So what a person feels as art may not go down well with some or all of the audience. It will be so, or else the Chainsaw man can display hacked bodies as Art Sculptures.
SO take Neo-Modern Art with a pinch of salt, It may be just a frenzied display of a coke-ridden mind.

Art is the result of the artist's own need to resolve something. So in the first place it's, as the creator, art is what you see. Having said that it's also important that what it means to others as well otherwise there is no point in sharing it with others. Maybe it's a game that requires at least two participants.

Art in this world is made by some critics (reviewers) who believe they know what art is but never understood how art has to be created.
They make a work or brake it down.
Its incredible that a few people on this world think they know what art is and they make for a lot artist this world a nightmare!
Work what is made for making big money can't be for me no art!
Art is a piece of work what is coming strait out from an artists hearth and soul!
It must be a creation deep from out your self and art must be a part from your own body.
Creating art to make money is not the right motive and can't never be art.
Its so sad that most art is made under that thinking and so the world is full of “non art” what is coming not out the artist hearth but out his mind to make that "expensive piece".
Being an artist is working with your hearth and soul!

Art is a combination of the two...the person in which created the art was inspired by a muse to do so...when the vision behind the art is shared from the original creator... that may change the impression it has on others. The beauty of art is that it is a reflection, similar to a mirror, the creator of it sees themselves and their inspiration in it while others connect, relate or disconnect from it. Art is open to interpretation. Visionary artists want others to see the way they do and allow others to take what they choose from their art in hopes that they do so with a similar aura.

Anyone can be an artist, art can be anything. So art is both: what people see and what you see. Some people think that something is not art because it does not fit a particular definition of their art classification, but that does not make it art. All art is made, therefore it is what you see.

Art is expression.
Doesn't matter If I think it is good or if it sucks.... it was done by someone expressing themselves.
It gets iffy sometimes because some art offends people, some art doesn't "look" like art to some people, some art seems so simple that people say "i could have done that"
So, with all of that being said... it can only be looked at as expression, and nothing more.

The artist sees through thier eyes what they put on the canvas ,It relates to life experiences and thier abilities to interprete the art they see and feel. An artists eyes view everything differently, because they are trained to look for colors,shapes and the feelings it generates. Then they try to extend this to the viewer

Both for we all see art in different ways.
I have a number of art work around my home my oldest daughter made in high school. Everyone views them in differently. One is a scratchboard collage she did on her visit to family in Florida. On one corner is a whale. To some it has looked like Jesus's tomb. This is one of her best.
All art to me, starts with the artist's eye and once finished becomes unique to each who see it. Weither we see with our heart's, sole, hands or all our 6 senses.

I believe art to be internal to a person, so using your criteria, I guess that means "art is what you see".
Every person has their own reality - it may not be my version, or yours, but it is integral to them. That is how I see art too.
