Out of pure curiosity, I googled "What is art?" and this was the first image that came up. I've never really entirely understood the blank canvas as a work of art. I think that art is the expression of a feeling, which helps explain the huge spectrum of the things that we choose to call art. Since human emotion is so varied, so is the art that humans produce. I suppose that the blank canvas shows us that art doesn't have to be impressive (anyone could paint an entire canvas one color), but it has to say something, it has to convey an emotion. Simplicity can still be beautiful.
