Larry asked:

Are Works of Art in the mind?

============

Yes. And to prove this to yourself (and/or to your friends), imagine there were no minds. Where do
you suppose a Martian visitor might find a work of art on earth? Whereas if a Martian happened to
land today and enquired about the "Night Watch" or the "Moonlight Sonata", you could reply, "they
are embodied tokens of something we create with and in our minds; and we put something into these
tokens, some clues which our minds pick up, but which do not belong to the objects as objects, and
that's why you, as a Martian (they have electron plasma brains) can't see it."
