artist and sportsman, same trade

I think someone called artist when the loom of a person of no use other than provoke emotions and feelings. Then the musicians as much as the athletes are in my eyes of artists.

Commentary post What an artist?

1 - Artist would be a trade.

2 - This art does not consist in producing a work, but to induce emotions in others.

3 - Artist and Athlete = same nature.

The difficulty with the art - and therefore with the artist - is to draw the boundaries of the concept, that is to say, given the characteristics without which art stops to be art and the artist an artist.

When you meet these challenges with the uncertainties raised by the other concepts that you add in the relationship (what a job? What is a sport?), Then you need someone who comes with a strong club for a little respect borders.

1 - On the craft, the idea of artist in our civilization was built by rolling back the role of learning - ie the art - in favor of the inspiration of genius, talent, etc. ... Not to be too romantic, we say that the essence of the artist, is precisely to exist beyond the art

2 - Regarding the work, c ' This is where the challenge is greatest. It was very common idea the artist produces a work and not just emotion . A work, that is something that captures its author - at least, something that lasts.

Yes, but as Nietzsche pointed out, the dancer leaves behind him any work, his art, his art disappeared with her dancing.

3 - Is this a reason to identify artist and athlete? Assuming that the athlete produces only the emotion in the viewer - not a feat that pushed the limits of human ability - why not? It is clear that some sports straddle art and sport - and just can think of equestrian sport, but also ice skating. However

: art is something that goes beyond the fleeting emotion. Art, even without producing lumber, lasts well beyond its manifestation.

Hannah Arendt said that even it's own art than to produce something that lasts because it is not for consumption.

-> The work of the artist - his product - is also something that gives think, something you can see, hear again, almost indefinitely, always with a new sensation , always thinking more .

The artwork is what we did never finished speaking .

So much the better if the sporting achievement in this category ...
