What does this quotation mean? It is about art and life... PLEASE HELP!
"The subject matter of art is life, life as it actually is; but the function of art is to make life better."

When you organize different components in life to create something useful or enjoyable, you have art.
A simple example is building a house out of all the different materials.
Or molding sounds into a song to enjoy.
Or manipulating colors and materials to a pleasing design.

Art comments on life, all life, everywhere in the cosmos. In a real sense, everything is alive, so every piece of art has no choice but to comment on life.
The comments and insights expressed in art, always enrich one's life, if one is wise enough to understand and appreciate them :))

art is about life, and how life really is, good or bad, easy or hard, although art is made to make life better, so art reflects how life really is and makes it better
