Why artist consider the human body an art?

I think art is about an idea or a concept. What you then produce from that is not in fact art, just an impression of it.

It was in Da Vinci's head. His technique is important to this concrete impression of his vision, but even with his skill what made it to the canvas could never have lived up to his ideas.

(All IMO.)
