Is Art Art?

From the morning when we open our eyes, until the night when we lie down on the bed, we hemans live ina world full of various sounds. They might be the chirpings of birds or people chattering. John Cage brought such sounds into music, and expressed and shared his emtions one can feel from. His work is indeed form of art in such views, and there are several reasons for it.

Firstly, though it does not have the melodies or harmonies like normal music, 4' 33" can be distinguished as and art that has feelings. According to the definition of art in Wikipedia, if it can only let the audiences have feelings, no matter what they are, it could be defined as an art. In this case, Cage's art might not make the audiences to feel happy or impressed, but can let them feel surprised or curious. These are indeed some forms of human feelings we share. Therefore this should be considered as an art.

Secondly, this music has a point of view that people might miss; it is a friendly art. Being easy, some turns back towards this work. However, their attitudes are definitely wrong. The difficulties are not the standards to decide whether a work is an art or not, and should not be. To add, easy arts should be welcomed, not judged, since every people will be able to enjoy art easily. John Cage is the artist who brought the art closer to us.

There are various types of art in today's society. John Cage's 4' 3" was one of the forms that were a special and fresh was to listen to music and have emotions. I certainly agree that this is art, and would like to even compliment it as a wonderful one.
