What is the difference between Art and Nature?

Art is basically creation by human beings though there are natural creations that are no less than best
pieces of visual art. Art has been defined as the use of skill and imagination in the creation of aesthetic
objects, environments, or experiences that can be shared with others (Britannica Online). If one goes
by this definition, art has existed since time immemorial. It has been there in the form of wall paintings,
frescos, body piercing, tattoos, statues, paintings etc. Art is the imagination in the mind of the artist that he
transforms into a tangible form through his skills. An artist gets inspired mostly by nature though there are
times when the genius of the artist draws on his own.
As for differences between art and nature, it is well known that nature is original and art is only a creation
by human beings. Art tries to replicate things natural but nature will always remain supreme. There is
another difference between art and nature and it is the manner in which much deeper meaning is
conveyed by an artist on his canvas though he appears to mimic nature. Howsoever beautiful the creation
by humans may be, art can never be better or more beautiful than nature itself.

A. In the history of art, prehistoric art is all art produced in preliterate,prehistorical cultures beginning
somewhere in very late geological history, and generally continuing until that culture either develops
writing or other methods of record-keeping, or makes significant contact with another culture that has, and
that makes some record of major historical events. At this point ancient art begins, for the older literate
cultures. The end-date for what is covered by the term thus varies greatly between different parts of the
world.

B. Albert Bierstadt (January 7, 1830 February 18, 1902) was a German-born American painter best
known for his lavish, sweeping landscapes of theAmerican West. To paint the scenes, Bierstadt joined
several journeys of theWestward Expansion. Though not the first artist to record these sites, Bierstadt
was the foremost painter of these scenes for the remainder of the 19th century.
Born in Germany, Bierstadt was brought to the United States at the age of one by his parents. He later
returned to study painting for several years inDsseldorf. He became part of the Hudson River School in
New York, an informal group of like-minded painters who started painting along this scenic river. Their
style was based on carefully detailed paintings with romantic, almost glowing lighting, sometimes
called luminism. An important interpreter of the western landscape, Bierstadt, along with Thomas Moran,
is also grouped with the Rocky Mountain School

C. The dates of the Classical period in Western music are generally accepted as being between about
the year 1750 and the year 1820. However, the term classical music is often used in a colloquial sense as
a synonym for Western art music which describes a variety of Western musical styles from the ninth
century to the present, and especially from the sixteenth or seventeenth to the nineteenth. This article is
about the specific period from 1730 to 1820.
