Abstract

Introduction: The functions of art can be varied, but they always depend on human creativity, through which humans evolve in all their facets. Objective: In order to delve into the nature of art and to determine if it has a function, this study explores the analysis from three spheres considered relevant to distinguish the artwork and its creative process, the artist, and the art market. Methodology: The observation approach towards the three spheres is made from the distinction between the artist and his biography, between the work and his creative process, and between the work and the art market. The comparison between the work of some artists and their objectives allows us to focus precisely on the differences that are established between one sphere and another. Results: The delimitation of the three spheres from the illustration of artistic work and the reflection on the core of art, provide a specific approach that guides towards a deeper perspective of the reflection of art, and from other disciplines such as philosophy, for which adds a digression on the way the artistic form dilutes the philosophical argument. Conclusions: The distinction between the spheres of art was important to delve into the depths of the subject and contribute to the exercise of documentary and artistic exploration.
