It's like Velcro -- one side is useless on its own and has no practical function
Art has no "practical" function ...that is, you can't drive it, play with it, live in it, dress in it, eat it, or comb with it.....
Am I right?

I believe that our misguided attempts to squelch our emotions inhibit our ability to be rational.
Perhaps the ideal is to go beyond the merely rational, to make rational the irrational, that is, to make sense of the irrational. Is that not what an artist does?
Take cubism for instance, an obvious example but a good one. The ability to see all sides of an object or body at once is clearly an irrational concept, yet the artists did exactly that. Rational compositions of the irrational illuminated the concept for the viewer.
