Nature's Art

Can nature's art be seen as the most beautiful art in the world? This question was brought up by Josh in his last blog.


Yes, nature's art is the most beautiful "art" in the world, but I do not think it can be considered art. Waking up to see a sunrise over the mountains like I do everyday is certainly something which inspires an aesthetic emotion. Nature's art is not intended art though, and therefore, it isn't true visual art. 
Nature can, however, be captured by an artist. Then and only then is it considered art. Whether it is a photographer or a musician capturing nature's art, it will always be art as long as it is intended. 
For me, and many people nature is the most beautiful thing to stare at. It memorizes us with its shapes, lines, and colors. Though we must remember that art is not always beautiful.


Can art be as beautiful as nature?
