Paulo Coelho -Revised

I was not specific enough while explaining how I related Coelho's work to art. In fact, I was sloppy, careless, and rushed.
Looking back and re-reading my work I do agree that love is rarely the emotion an artist feels for his or her creation. I was referring to the origins of art, rather than the emotion behind a work of art. Why does an artist paint, write, perform...? Certainly not because they dislike creating art. There are different types of love. The love we have towards the people around us should not exist in this conversation. It was never meant to, and I am sorry for this misunderstanding. The love I am speaking of is the love an artist has for art. This love is not passion because it extends far beyond the reaches of passion. The love is material and borderline obsessive. The emotion behind an art object can be derived from any emotion, but no matter an artist has a true love for what they do.
Weitz defines art as an impossible definition. I strongly agree with this on some level. No one will ever be able to agree on a definition and I often ask why people bother trying to define an impossible definition. The idea of a miracle does not exist in one's life until the miracle occurs. When this miracle occurs, wherever and however it may, we do not know how or why it happens. We only know that a miracle has taken place. In Coelho's novel human love is spoken of as a miracle. Several small miracles take place, but these miracles could never take place without love. At one point in the book it is stated that love is miracle. To me, all forms of love are miracles.
This is where I tied art and miracle together. An artist does not know why they create art. It is an unexplained love of creating. Something which is unexplained, but incredible (in a good way) I choose to put under the category of miracle. This love an artist feels towards what they do is a miracle. You do not have to agree with me, I just wanted to properly define what I should have defined before. I was not trying to define art, only the origins of art.
