-the conundrum of art-
by Doug Keil
What do you call a collection of colors and spaces,
by ways and places as divergent
as the products of humanity?
What do you call the creative processes
of reflection and reaction,
the call and response of mind and matter,
the bridges of intentions that effect communication-
often unhindered by time and culture-
from long ago to today,
from the heat of jungles
to the vast white seas of ice,
(and everywhere in between?)
History has heard many words
voiced in attempt to define
the creative methods of human expression;
the finest word of all being “art.”
