[Altaru]

Is not "art" something that is meant to create an emotion within the viewer?

It's like the "modern" art, that people pay thousands for, when all it is is basically a child drawing a fish, or someone throwing a paint can on a canvas.

Those are considered art, are they not?

The art of the Geisha entertains and comforts men, it brings out emotions of happiness and contentment.

Therefor, it can be considered an art.

Now, YOUR definitions of art may vary, as do mine (I don't consider the modern crap art, personally), but that's my viewpoint on the matter.
