The idea of beds in the world comes from Plato’s beliefs, he can only believe everything in physical form isn’t its real form and this puts it in his mind that this isn’t his reality. He sets “Beds in the world” aside because he doesn’t meet his reality.
The idea of a bed is when a bed is in its truest form. The idea of a bed is the maker of that bed and becomes real, and the creator is God. This gives the idea of the creator of the bed and god have the right to call it theres.
This leaves art in his reality by understanding that the idea of the bed is in the physical world meets reality. This is where art is left. Art is the way it imitates the beds in the real world, which imitates the idea of a bed. They use the poet and painter as a way to use the world in any way they want. The poets use his words as well as the painter using his paintings as a way to control the physical world. This idea is to copy all aspects of a teacher in their own way.
The ways Plato says art deceives us, he uses a painter and a poet to explain how painters can deceive the mind and by bending the rules of reality with his art can fool anyone just by painting a portrait. The painter can paint anything with his imagination and his will to make whatever he would like. Painting a chair meets his reality in the physical world and by believe thats a chair but in reality he doesn’t know how to build a chair. This can be deceiving by painting to his own agenda. On the other hand a poet uses his words to decide the mind my speaking of how to live a happy life just by saying the words he wants to say ca fool anyone who is listening thats how to live happily.
I disagree with his criticism, he uses a broad source of reasoning which makes you think of many possibilities of deception and reality. For example the explanation of the idea of a bed is it meets reality because of the creator and God is in a way, also a creator of the bed and the idea of beds in the world defeats the purpose of reason. Having the ability to bend reality with words or art is different because if shows the imagery of the artist.
