What is Art?

The definition that I Identify with the most is

I identify with this definition mostly because sometimes it is physically impossible to create the ideas an artist has in their mind. In Lewitt's definition, you do not need to actually create a tangible form of artwork. The idea is enough, in your mind, you created something that did not otherwise exist. Art, in my own definition, is the visual or auditory articulation of a person's experiences, imagination, or trauma shared with a viewer.

The definition that I didn't necessarily disagree with but I felt needed more elaboration, was the quote below:

While art is a form of expression and can be used as a tool to provide for oneself, sustenance isn't the descriptive word I would use. It does give one's life meaning and is an integral outlet for the creativity locked away in the recesses of the mind. We need much more. I would have phrased the quote as art is an outlet, that leads the artist and the viewer to a form of sustenance.
