Is Art an obsession?

Question: Is Art an obsession!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Obsessiveness arises from an inner calling to express or give life and actuation to something associated, governing and possessing our minds and souls!.

We strive to convey in prose, poetry or painting these inner thoughts to release, realise and give ramification to until it is heard!. Many artists strive to convey this inner multi dimensional angst within the collective souls !.!.

If the artist is successful he has created a masterpiece!. He has released the force within!. If others appreciate his idealising of his intended manifestation then he is a successful artist!. If not then he has at least given life and form to his imagination!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It certainly can be for some people!. For others it's a hobby, a way of life, or something others just don't get!.

For me Art is a way of thinking!. It's perceiving the world in a careful practiced way and understanding things a bit differently than Joe On The Street!. It's also the declaration of that perception, whether it be physical, visual, oral, or performative!.

Can people be obsessed by this, yes!. But they don't have to to get it, or be a part of it!. Obsession is not a requirement, just a possible side effect!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
