Art is immediately perceived through senses, though it leads to reflexion and thought. 1984, by Orwell, isn't a mere political essay, and on the other side, what you see when you see a Rothko, for instance, isn't just forms and colors. How, and why? What can we deduce about art's nature? What does this difference show and tell about ourselves?
