"How does artistic and creative quality figure in to Tolstoy's definition of art as a means to unite people and their emotions?"
I think this is a tough question, if I'm understanding it right. If art is a communication like Tolstoy says, then in order for it to be efficient, it needs to be clear. Creativity can be factored into art and help the communication, but if it's too "out there," then it might become unclear to the observers. Of course, I'm not saying it's a bad thing to incorporate creativity, but I think if it's vague or confusing, then the art is inefficient or a failure. If it cannot communicate correctly, then it does not support universal brotherhood.
