For you, Nick_A, to stART a thread on The Philosophy of Art and be as inartistic and as unartful as you have exposed yourself to be or as your self-exposure has exposed you to be or as the exposure of the self of you BY YOURSELF has revealed does make me sad, , but at the same glad, since I can so artfully help you in the Arts and in Liberal Arts or in the Art of Liberality!
Are you accusing me of exposing myself? There are laws against that.
Hey!
Finally!
Where have you been?
Now THAT sounds like that Nick_A I know is IN there like Prego!:)
Love that other Nick_A too but he or that attitude of Hate of self or of Self-Hate has to go!:)
Thanx again, Nick_A, for starting this thread of Art for us all: the one you may art-help the most is yourself or the one you will help most is the self of you IF you first give yourself or give to the self of you Self-Love or the Love of yourself to yourself or the Love of the self of you to the self of you. Just spelling it out for you so that you won't ever forget it and you will always remember it.

To each his own.
Now you're talking!:)
That artistic spiritual side of your being or the being of you is what is coming thru in this post! And with that in mind, any art-critic or any critic of art will be able to show you that self-Love is Love of self!:idea:
Now, in the time of mean or in the meantime, you keep that spirit of the Art of Love or Love-Art, y'hear!
I am proud in my humility and humble in my pride and so am SO proud of you for this response---you ARE a quick UNDER-study!:)
Now how about some more nice music or some more of the music of nice?
"I am in you and you in me, mutual in divine Love [or mutual in the Love of the divine]." -William Blake
"Perhaps the feelings that we experience when we are in Love represent a normal state.
Being in Love shows a person who he should be."
Anton Chekhov
