Sir Roger Penrose, one of the foremost scientists of our time, when faced with a similar problem with regard to the definition, states in his book, The Emperor's New Mind
"I do not think that it is wise, at this stage of understanding, to attempt to propose a precise definition of consciousness, but we can rely, to good measure, on our subjective impressions and intuitive common sense as to what the term means."

The same seems to hold for art: You know what it is, I know it, but a definition is quite something else. Any brief definition of art would oversimplify the matter.

ART has not always been what we think it is today. An object regarded as Art today may not have been perceived as such when it was first made, nor was the person who made it necessarily regarded as an artist. Both the notion of "art" and the idea of the "artist" are relatively modern terms.

When we first learn about painting, we learn that color is simply the sensation of light intercepted by the retina.The more light, the brighter the color.
