It doesn’t seem to serve any purpose to us as living beings, and yet it has been at the core of human Why art? life since before history began. So, why art? What drives us to create; to build, shape and craft? What makes the painter paint, the actor act, or the writer write? Why are we always thirsty to experience the products of these labours? The answer, it seems, is just as simple: expression. Whether painting, performance, poetry or prose, art is expression beyond words.
