One art form to describe the other.

I was just wondering about the language, an art form in itself.

Language is an art form, skill, tool, and many more things but most importantly and art.

All this time we have been trying to describe concept of art, with one of the arts it self.

It's like trying to form a definition of a word, and having definiendum in the definiens.

Such circularity is endless.

Describing a variable with the same variable (x=x).

I would like to put out there, that whatever we come up with, is never going to describe all art, it merely will lay a crude template. But is that all that bad? After all we generalize, language is based on generalization of concepts, so why should the definition of art be specific?
