how can helping out the poor/ppl in poverty be seen as someones artwork/ epression of themself?

Answer 1

I guess if you think of the poor before intervention as the blank canvas and after as the finished art?

Answer 2

The blind appear to be handicapped. But Almighty gives
them some extra sensitivity in some other perception
organ like ear or touch. Have you not observed this?

They live close to nature and enjoy all that is part of
it. Their minds breed on what is natural and less on
what is artificial. They are probably the nature's
ideal for what is living.

Property separates people and poverty joins people.
People of poverty enjoy more close personal
relationships which are highly heartening. Their mutual
understanding as a group is incomparable. It is we who
are poor in such relationships.

Visualize an oil painting by Bill Gates entitled "Philanthropic Dada", in which you see a glistening high-rise, alongside of which, at street level, are a stack of bunkbeds.

Alternate perspective:

Donating to struggling (poor) artists often provides a personal connection between the donor and the artist, thereby providing the donor the opportunity to live vicariously through the artist, letting the donor for a moment to know the feeling of being an artist...

Answer 4

I don't think it can, unless you want to strech the definiton of Art beyond all meaning. I suppose it could possibly be a person's way of expressing how nice and kind they are, but then surely they wouldn't be helping out of a need to express themselves, but rather a desire to useful.
