On the name of Art !!

Some people of some section in our society remain busy in "enjoying" "art", and many "artists" are daily taking birth in our society, and lot of entertainment is presented before people for 24 hours daily so that they can pass their time. We can say that most of the middle class people are surrounded with a lot of "art" for entertainment. On this type of entertainment we need to take a deeper look on some more detailed part of art. Here are few points from the Essay 'Aesthetic Relations of Art to Reality' written by Nicholas G. Chernyshevsky in 1853 ( Rest you can read the complete article here ) :

"Sphere of art is not limited only to beauty and its so-called moments, but embraces everything in reality (in nature and in life) that is of interest to man not as a scholar but as an ordinary human being; that which is of common interest in life – such is the content of art."

"The relation of art to life is the same as that of history; the only difference in content is that history, in its account of the life of mankind, is concerned mainly with factual truth, whereas art gives us stories about the lives of men in which the place of factual truth is taken by faithfulness to psychological and moral truth. The first function of history is to reproduce life; the second, which is not performed by all historians, is to explain it."
