What is Art?

This year, I've found myself constantly bombarded with this question: What exactly IS art? And after failing, many times, to find the right words, I create this blog as a means to form my own definition, and, maybe, inspire others to find theirs.

The Alexander McQueen Exhibit

Sheer art.  I don’t this this one has to be explained.

When talking about my definition of art, I feel that there is no better place to start than the work of my Mother Monster.  Her music is art.  Her performances are art.  She, to me, is art.  She inspires so much of what I do.  Even when she utilizes techniques of others, she reinvents them to be so thoroughly herself.  “The Edge of Glory” bring up memories of Jersey.  Of walking on the boardwalk, feeling the mist, and the thrill.  To me, that feeling, the recreation of a memory, can only be brought about through art.
