An art work or piece is a creative unit made by man, in which he
abstracts a special moment from life experience and integrates a whole
meaning to it, by which the spectator is able to experience that moment
as valued by the artist. The art body bears a likeness to that instance
of abstraction as viewed by the artist of the special moment. It
embodies thoughts and values about an aspect of reality as experienced
or intuited by the artist. The concept formed is given concrete shape
through images like pictures, statues etc. This image of art stimulates
the senses of the spectator and makes him aware of the idea implicit in
art work. This image is at a perceptible level, and enables the
spectators to comprehend the importance or experience a heightened sense
of the reality of the presented abstractions. The dominant emotion in
the art presentation pervades through spectators giving them a
pleasurable experience. Since viewing and appraising art work is an act
of perception and not cognition, all art works need to be sensuous to
attract and hold the undivided attention of the spectator. Thus the
importance of the sensuous element i.e. “intrinsic perception of
sensation” as one of art’s most characteristic features has been
acknowledged. Therefore, art piece is a sensuous embodiment i.e. a work
of art is directly available to the senses.
