Read the following passage and answer the question :
All art is a blend of form and content: and it is through certain excellence characterizing either, that the artist succeeds in inducing in us the artistic attitude. In the case of poetry, for example, the content is constituted by the figurative ideas, and sentiments it expresses: and the form, by the musical language through which they find expression. Of these, the form varies much from one art to another; and it is also technical. We shall not refer to it here at any length and shall confine our attention mainly to the content.

The content of art may be defined generally as the meaning which it expresses. The excellence that may characterize it are many, and they have been classified in various ways.
