On Gardner's Art through the Ages: The Western Perspective, Volume 2, it was written that Picasso has a different perspective in understanding art. He believes that the masks are not ordinary but contains magic that becomes a medium between human and the forces of evil. In the book, it stated that he wanted to capture this power as he tried to express it on his paintings.
Picasso was inspired by primitive art as well as African and Iberian culture. During his time, art works look strange and unique and were based on the colonizer's findings on their conquered lands.
Art is considered many things...… from music to paintings. This is what everyone knows art as. But really art is what you end up with when your struck with an amazing idea or you see things from a different perspective and notice that it makes something else. The reason why the question "what is art" cannot be answered is because we don't really know what art is ourselves, our definition of art expands everyday when something new is noticed. I'm only in high school so maybe my answer is stupid and doesn't really help..... or maybe it will help. But seeing that no one else has answered your question, I thought I'd give my opinion. Hope this helps a little :)
I think it might be B, I remember reading that somewhere, but the whereabouts allude me. I hope I helped :)
