  1. In general, I'd conclude that humanity is the species that self-expresses, and art is one of our forms of self-expression.

    I concur with John Dewey in the ultimate value of art.  The artist uses the medium to try to recreate or suggest rhythms of safety and danger (harmony-dissonance/symmetry-imbalance/c... that reflect the more memorable, valued, cherished moments of her/his own life.  The audience responds to those rhythms as they might relate to similar memorable/cherished/valued moments in their lives.

    Since love is one of our particularly cherished moments, that's the correlation.
