Some say that art helps man to know the world like any other intellectual activity. I don't believe in this possibility of knowing, I am almost an agnostic. Knowledge distracts us from our main purpose in life. The more we know, getting deeper our horizon becomes narrower. Art enriches man's own spiritual capabilities, and he can then rise above himself.
