Art for art's sake is an empty phrase. Art for the sake of truth, art for the sake of the good and the beautiful that is the faith I am searching for.

Amen.
George Sand is a Pseudonym. Quote should be attributed to Barrones Aurore Lucile Dupin.
Perhaps. But everyone know George Sand. Not everyone knows Barrones Aurore Lucile Dupin.
Dear Metaphor Group,
In your header you claim that artists "carry across their vision(s) of the world into images or sounds". I can't help but notice you have neglected words as a vessel for this vision. Are you sugguesting that an author or wordsmith cannot express their vision or their soul in the same way a visual or aurual arist can?
Yours, a young and concerned lover of the arts
Words are sounds.
And letters on paper are sights...
In any case, the header is making reference to senses... if you wanted to be a Nazi about it... you could say that cooks are artists too. And blind people experience art through touch. Your a little bit uptight.
Your comments make no sense. Of course a chef is an artist.
