Everything About Art Explained:

How to Make Enduring Art

by Chris Sunami



The question of what makes physically enduring art is trivial, since the media of art runs the gamut from highly stable materials such as stone and metal to highly ephemeral ones such as concepts, and the relative endurance of one versus another is easily discerned. Finding an answer to the question of what makes art that endures because of its content, however, is only slightly more difficult in theory (although excessively challenging to realize in practice). As history has shown, the art that endures is art that is largely self-contained (independent of context), universally-themed, transparent and/or self-presenting in idiom, original, genre-pioneering or genre-defining, high-quality, and unique.
