What is art?

This is a question I’ve been thinking about a lot recently. Why is important, and why do we care? 

I’m not a pessimist, like Rousseau: he talks about societies that develop the arts and sciences leads to corruption and moral degradation; when we can really just survive on the bare necessities, right?

Why do we feel the urge to express? 
To find ways to communicate ideas? 
Why don’t we run out of things to say 
And what about ways to say them? 
Who said that art has to be a certain way?
Why do you care so much?
Why not just not care?

I don't care about contemporary art because the artist usually speaks more than the art 😅
I care about the message. The moment I "dive" in a masterpiece. The technique. The feeling of the colors. All of that, without a single word said. And the guy next to me can feel the same... or not. 
That's the beauty of art :)
