What is the purpose of art? By the by, it should be relevant to ask why we need it and what does it stand for? Well, just try to think it from your point of view. What do you do when you see an artistic creation?
At first you get attracted- then pleased, and finally try to understand and perceive the meaning of it. Then what you do? Try to stretch your imagination to get a full meaning of it.
Ok. So you can say the purpose of art is to give pleasure. When you try to get the meaning of it- art is playing the role of a communicator and lastly help you to refresh your mind when you stretch your imagination to understand the full meaning of it.
Then try to think it from an artist's perspective. To him the purpose of art is expression. Again expression means sending of ideas. Artist is born in society and nurtured by it. So it is quite natural for him that he would be a part and parcel of the society. Therefore, the idea and the panorama of his contemporary society might be captured through his artistic creations. So the another purpose of art is to reflect the society that draws us back to it, holds us there, grows inside us and becomes a part of us.
Art is the index-ion of the society that helps us to get a picture of the contemporary society. It models our behaviors, shapes our beliefs and creates a shared experience. The purpose of art is to capture and arrest the organic life, panoramic view and moment in a plastic frame. That is to capture dynamic life in a static frame. It is the visualization of human attitude towards life and towards the world. Its purpose is to realize and actualize the mirror of the human psyche to respond to the impulsion from within to solve the mystery of our individual existence- to find the authentic Self that is, has been and ever shall be.
