What Is Art?

Leo Tolstoy's classic book "What Is Art?" delves into the essential question of what truly defines art and its purpose in society. Written in the late 19th century, Tolstoy's exploration of art goes beyond aesthetics to question the moral and spiritual significance of creative expression. He argues that true art should serve a deeper purpose of connecting humanity and promoting a sense of unity and understanding. Through a combination of philosophical musings and critical analysis, Tolstoy challenges readers to rethink their perceptions of art and its role in the world. This thought-provoking work continues to be a cornerstone in art philosophy and is a must-read for anyone interested in the transformative power of artistic expression.
