What Art Is

Art's true meaning often gets lost. Theories twist it. This book cuts through the noise. A painter speaks. He argues for beauty. He argues for purpose. He confronts those who diminish art. This is a direct look at art theory, at what art is, and what it should be.

Dr. Cornelis van Houte paints. A Belgian, his neo-impressionist works are seen across Europe. His canvases find light, capture moments. He lives the questions of art. Here, he offers his clear view. A painter's argument for art's lasting truth.
