Essence of art

Essence; this is the very inseparable nature of an entity.
Presently there are three school of thought in art
¤Formism
¤Expsessionism
¤Symbolism/Representationalism

Formism; in this school of thought of art, a work of art is believed to be a form. Form is simply the cognitive identity of an object. Form goes beyond the third dimension.

Expressionism; in this school of thought their credence is that for a product of art to be termed 'art work' it must be an expsession. That is to say a certain emotion must trigger the artist to create the work of art . Therefore anything out of the context remains null.

Symbolism; the concept of the symbolist is that every work of art is a representation of an already natural existing entity. Plato is also an exponent in this concept.
