A Short Essay on Art Is Long, Life Is Short




This is a very good proverb. Man’s life is very short when compared to the existence of art. Great art created by man is permanent. It survives for ages. But, the man who made it dies quite earlier. Great temples in India were built by famous kings. But what is the result? The Great kings are no more, but their art lives even today. This saying has got another meaning also. There is much art to be learnt but we have very little time in our life to learn it. Hence we must utilise the available time in a proper way to acquire maximum knowledge possible. So, let us say that art is a huge subject, but human life is very short.
