The relationship between art and truth is viewed differently by everyone, but most people agree on certain aspects. Art generally shows some kind of truth from the life of the artist that created it. The artist is making part of themselves vulnerable to the arts viewers. They are often showing a part of their past or a current emotion that is taking up space in their brain. They are releasing the truth of their life onto some kind of artistic canvas.
Beauty plays a big role in the relationship of art and truth also. Beauty comes out in the artwork that the artist has created. The beauty of the work is the way that the artist has made themselves so vulnerable to the world. The beauty and the truth are fairly similar, but the beauty is more. The beauty is also how other people view the work. Some people will get one thing out of the art while others will get something else out of the art. Most everybody will get some kind of opinion or emotion out of most works of art, even if it is just trying to figure out what the artist was thinking when they were creating it. The beauty aspect ties in with art and truth in the way that although the art could be realistic to some part of the artists life or emotions, the viewer will see it however they want to and will take something personal from it.
That's a good point that the artist is making itself vulnerable to the viewers that are judging the piece of art. It must take some courage in order to put something that personal out their for everyone to view and to judge. That's also a good observation that everyone gets something different out of art whether they're making it or just observing.
