Life comes first then art is created by humans to imitate it. Mona Lisa imitates life. By its own nature, art can only imitate life and not the other way round. Artistic expression is essentially an attempt by human society to understand and appreciate their weaknesses and strengths. Hence, life is supreme and art imitates it.

To me art is the expression or creation of either thoughts or experiences. It is possible to live by imitating art, but then you are limiting yourself to the imagination or experiences of others. Art should imitate life, and what life is to the individual should be expressed as art.

With imitation being the best form of flattery, and life being the first form of humanity, I believe art imitates life.
In other words, in order to imitate anything you must first have knowledge of it. We had life before we had art.

I believe that life is art bc a higher power as some may call God has divinely and artistically made us each so diff. and we as individuals make our individual art styles which comes from life as art/ So overall God is the ultimate artist as he gave us art in many ways

Hmmmm. How about: imitation ruins both art and life? :)))
