It raises the question: What is art about? Is it the work, or what we say and feel about it, that is most important?

The hands were actually a sketch that Durer did to prepare for a painting.
It raises the question: What is art about? Is it the work, or what we say and feel about it, that is most important?

I saw this in a textbook and it explains it is 'it that cleft sentence' but I still have failed to analyze the structure of those sentences, especially 'that is most important?' Could you help me out again?

Thank you so much as usual!
