Since the sixties, the idea of what art is or should be, has been endlessly debated. Having exhausted the possibilities of traditional forms, modernism ceased to attract new business and attempts to create art controversy took shape. The notion of art became increasingly depressed and, naturally, understandable meaningless.

The art of the late 20th century finally broken. Refusing to have work judged by aesthetic criteria, the artists did his art "conceptual" and as incomprehensible as consumers. The 21st century, for its part, says his art is "emotional", an equally unique and sterile idea that will inevitably lead to the same degree of understanding.

Maybe it's time to stop thinking about developments in art as a path leading necessarily forward. The art has entered a blind alley. For we may need to go back, maybe we should turn our own themes.

Art no can be reduced to a leveling instrument of social hierarchy. Art can be a means to express individual experiences, psychedelic, not a vehicle for promoting abstract ideas and confusing. Let us avoid the tendency to confuse art with idolatry and I looking at the navel. Even if art is not for everyone, is not necessarily shared by some. If there is no communion between artist and audience is not provided and, necessarily, no artwork. The art makes intuitive sense and shared. When art is in need of explanation, you can be sure that there is in art. Most of the movements that have dominated the field of the last free creativity decades thus can safely and painlessly forget.

What makes the "art" is as elusive as "being. Not being able to explain not mean we can ignore its reality or its use. , As we know that we, ourselves, are, and that art is, we know that there is art. This certainty about art conveniently be called classical in that permeates all ages. There are two thousand years and is present today is a constant. A contemporary art regardless of age, is doing nothing more than position themselves against the classical stream, always present. The quirks, more or less ephemeral, are signs of the times, the Zeitgeist.

What is remarkable is that art is a testimony. But art is not documentary, not meant to be objective, complete, or faithful to reality. The ability to discern and appreciate art is a human component and timeless. A shared perception of art, has prevailed over the centuries, through millennia, and today is as present as ever. This classical view of art should not be confused with having a preference for Greek or Roman times. We use 'classic' to make timeless, ie what has been intuitively shared since time immemorial. The best works of modern art movement are such classics as Michelangelo, but are merely adapting them to the ideas and eternally present circumstances.

Do not be fooled by the psychotherapeutic activity is disguised as art. No need to worry about art is moral and metaphysical. Art does not have to pass on messages, the art need only be understood intuitively.
