>>25089232MY Definition of happiness tells me otherwiseArt is a composition of which the parts serve both as support for an aesthetic structure and as semantic elements for a truth, an idea, a moment of mind--elements that only take up a meaning once put in relation to a whole--, these elements thus appear as concretized and encapsulated in the emerging object or phenomena, an emergence brought by the aesthetic order; Art is ideas as object or phenomena. in music notes hold the unifying aesthetic structure through tone and pitch and rhythm, and also are the building blocks of an "emotion" being portrayed when put in relation to a whole, in this case in a melody or a chordBut it is the same in a painting, the strokes are both holding an aesthetic structure which make a piece come as one, and they'll also represent a tree now, a river there, a sun and the sky etc.To have art be>art in which subject and form are seemingly oneis the condition for all art to emerge really; for people to *interpret* a composition as art
