I've never really understood what that even means, you guys.
What does it mean in plain English?

Red, it means artistic people are just a little left of center.
You're welcome in advance Red.

Thank you YZ.

Either what people actually do is stranger than what people invent as stories, or people's imaginations are wider than real life.
Art imitating life is gritty realism. Life imitating art is taking idealism and bringing it into existence.
Something disgusting like a video shoot-em-up isn't art, bringing those values to life isn't borrowing from an imaginative expression - all that's happened is that someone's values have been coarsened.
So, when art imitates life it's cheapened, in my opinion. Art at its best is an expression of an ideal.
When life imitates art it's enhanced, the ideal someone's expressed is brought into other people's lives and improves them.
Either can happen, one's worthwhile and the other's exploitative. I'm not in the least criticizing the Angry Young Man kitchen sink drama, that's an exploration of ideals too, it tore down vile class-oriented hypocrisies and let light into a political system that needed exposure.
Have you seen some art you want to express by living it, skittles, or are you trying to find something worth idealizing?

Art imitates life. Art is man made, whereas life is natural.

Art is a device by which we try to represent and interpret real life. Sometimes it seems like its happening the other way round, but artifice can never really be real life. Though art and ideas inside art profoundly influence people and their actions sometimes, in fact most of the time, but in such a general way usually that its impossible to make any firm conclusions about it.

Life is supposed to be reality....art is our interpretation of life.
