I am writing to provide a perspective to look at the relationship between art and people. Could all higher art forms be appreciated by the people? An example people would talk about is music, for instance, some classical music is widely recognized even amongst the people who don’t know an instrument or listen to music like an amateur. Could it be that some art is able to reach common consensus among all people? As most people know, art is mostly subjective, take visual art as an example, some may like the roughness of oil painting, some may like the composition of black and white comics, some may like to sketch industrial buildings, they are divided. Let’s assume one thing, say a person’s taste/aesthetics is purely constructed by one’s experience. And by that, I mean it is only natural to have so many different views on the same thing. In Chinese, there is this saying, ‘a thousand hamlets through the eyes of a thousand men.’. (Strangely, as this is widely used in the Chinese world but was never an English idiom, as this was first coined in a translation of Shakespeare's widely acknowledged work Hamlet.) If so, then this may answer the question of why our tastes differ. Then this raises another bigger question, could we be able to communicate through art at all? if all of us are having such a different experience. Yes, not only because tragedies are similar or that most commoner’s lives are interrelated. I would say it is more than that, as even a child could like the music and drawings and stories, these classics seems to hit something more than just our memory, and that, I would say that they are so good as they are able to interlink with the memory of our body, the body, the gene we inherited from our ancestor. We are actually the natural selected few, we are the survivors of our time, we are the living ones. Our body has already chosen what we like, just some of them, and rest is dictated by our experience and how we react to it. Art is all about creating consciously with creativity.
