I get this sense that most people who are heavily invested in the art world want art to be something far more profound than it actually is.
The truth is, art is something incredibly basic and integral to the human mind. That's why we give finger paints and play-doh to three year olds. Art can be profound and lofty, but it can also be mundane and practical.
It's ironic, but these people who want to confine art to high-minded and complex ideas are actually the ones selling art short. They make art seem less important and ubiquitous than it actually is.
