What is the central question of the philosophy of art?

Answer 1

The question is "What is art?"

And the answer is likely to be subjective, because some forms of symbolic or representational art may not have any apparent meaning to some of its audience. The creation of abstract art, "junkyard sculpture" and more recently the ephemeral "performance art" all stretch the definition beyond its classical roots.

Answer 2

Artists often are inspired by philosophers (a teacher of mine advised Gaston Bachelard). But I've also seen philosophers become artists, because their field has become more and more abstract and limited to language construction. Art is more direct.

I think art itself is most influenced by modern science theories. When the theory of color being a wavelength and light being invisible particles came into fashion, the use of color became less and less important in painting. Now that the materialist concept is loosing it's power, art is opening up to new directions as well.
