A painting is not necessarily enough to fully depict and reinvent a scene of an ocean shore. It conveys only part of it—the visual. Even if the painting gives life to a still depiction (such as a picture taken with a camera), it lacks the largeness of the sea. Even if the painting is infinitely big, it is only one painting, unchanging with time as the ocean changes with time. The life of the painting is lost because the life is a constant, but real life is never constant.
Other art forms can be added to the painting, and together they can convey the life of the scene. Dance and music both change in time, and show that progression. The painting itself is in two dimensions, but the life that it gives to the scene implies a third dimension. Dance is in three dimensions, but the movement implies a fourth (time). Music has only time as its dimension but is supported by the dimensions of the painting and the dance.
