The best definition of art I've read is the one from "What is Art?" by Tolstoy. I haven't read it myself, but came across it in a Van Neistat video recently.

Tolstoy argued that art is essentially the transmission of feeling from the artist to the audience. He claimed that when an artist experiences an emotion and then, through their work, evokes that same emotion in others, that is art.
