	Art - Encyclopedia, History, Geography and Biography
		The creative arts are a collection of disciplines whose principal purpose is in the output of material that is compelled by a personal drive and echoes or reflects a message, mood, and symbolism for the viewer to interpret.
		Art explores what is commonly termed as the human condition; that is, essentially, what it is to be human, and art of a superior kind often brings about some new insight concerning humanity (not always positive) or demonstrates a level of skill so fine as to push forward the boundaries of collective human ability.
		For Plato, art is a pursuit whose adherents are not to be trusted; given that their productions imitate the sensory world (itself an imitation of the divine world of forms) art necessarily is an imitation of an imitation, and thus is hopelessly far from the source of the truth.

	Britain.tv Wikipedia - Art
		The purpose of works of art may be to communicate ideas, such as in politically-, spiritually-, or philosophically-motivated art, to create a sense of beauty (see âaestheticsâ), to explore the nature of perception, for pleasure, or to generate strong emotions.
		The creative arts (âartââ as discipline) are a collection of disciplines (âartsâ) which produce artworks (âartâ as objects) that is compelled by a personal drive (âartâ as activity) and echoes or reflects a message, mood, or symbolism for the viewer to interpret (âartâ as experience).
		Art predates history; we have found sculptures, cave paintings, rock paintings and petroglyphs from the upper paleolithic starting roughly 40,000 years ago, but the precise meaning of such art is often disputed because we know so little with firmness about the cultures that produced them.

	Modern Art Movements (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Art Deco did not originate with the Exposition; it was a major style in Europe from the early 1920s, though it did not catch on in the U.S. until about 1928, when it quickly modulated into the Moderne during the 1930s, the decade with which the concept of Art Deco is most strongly associated today.
		Art Deco was an opulent style and this opulence is attributed as a reaction to the forced austerity during the years of World War I. Art Deco was a popular style for interiors of cinema theatres and ocean liners such as the Ile de France and Normandie.
		In Spain, the movement was centred in Barcelona and was known as modernisme in Catalan and modernismo in Spanish.
