Living with art - digging a little deeper

On the subject of "vivir con arte" Profesor Grahasta wrote (see Spanish below) that for the Greeks to consider something a work of art, it had to have order, balance, contrast, unity and harmony. But that maybe these five elements represent the expression of the aspirations that we all have in our lives.

It's a good start, but a little Apollonian for my taste. It's missing a little bit of the Dionyssian, the flamenco, the edge of daring, the leap in the dark.

----------

El "arte de vivir" es una expresión extraña. Los griegos fueron los primeros que elaboraron la teoría del arte. Buscando las razones y las reglas de esas inspiradas creaciones humanas, llegaron a la conclusión de que había cinco elementos que debían hallarse siempre, para que algo fuese considerado "una obra de arte": orden, equilibrio, contraste, unidad y armonía. Pero... ¿Sólo en las obras de arte se encuentra esta excelsa combinación?


Quizás, estos cinco elementos representen la expresión de las aspiraciones que todos tenemos para nuestras vidas.
