Art is a product of a human mind to convey a select idea or emotion in a conducive form of the artist.
Selectivity is the key factor of an art because the artist, in order to convey his intention clearly, selects
the idea or the subject and the style with due care. The artist, then, attends to the clarity of his creation.
If he fails in clarity, the purpose of his creation will be lost. Hence, he applies his intelligence to shape
and hove for accuracy. Later, he integrates the subject and style to present it beautifully to the reader or
audience. Thus, art conveys the taste of an artist. J M Coetzee, a Noble Prize winner, is a South African
