Art has been an unfettered creativity, hence, to define it is repugnant to the very idea that it is a creative expression.
Art is perceptual. In short, one uses his/her senses to appreciate art. Likeiwse, each creation of art is sui generis ( or a class of its own).
When viewing same object viewers do not see--or in terms of art theory, "read"-- the same images and ideas. Each viewer reads the object differently based upon distillation of experiences, attitudes, and beliefs, and responds accordingly.
Art succeeds over time when it continues to precipitate these individualized interpretative perceptions of viewers beyond the time period of the creator's context.
( compare the two images of Mona Lisa. Which is art?)
