[MD] Art to me is....

My questioning 'essay' was more in the nature of it being an analytical 
composition, which seems more intent on providing meaning, but I could 
be wrong. I do agree with the comments on ZAMM.

[Arlo]
Analytical composition can be art, indeed SHOULD be art. No? Anyway, 
your other comment...

They beckon one into a labyrinth of every-changing discovery.

I think this is good. Unless I am misreading, I like that this captures 
the interaction between, say, the painting and the person who 
experiences it. 'Meaning' is not (in this view) 'transmissive' in that 
the viewer is entirely passive (objective), nor is it constructed 
entirely on the whim of the viewer (subjective), but 'meaning' (art) 
evolves out of the the experience/interaction of the 'painting'/'viewer'.
