The Forgotten Meaning of Art

If you read the last line of the American Heritage Dictionary definition of ART, you will see that it says:



"A specific skill in adept performance, conceived as requiring the exercise of intuitive faculties that cannot be learned solely by study."


...................that cannot be learned solely by study.



And so there is something else at play when we create, something other than knowledge, something that preceded knowledge, that trumps it, and that lives elsewhere, perhaps in the soul.
