Techno Posted September 22, 2022 Posted September 22, 2022 How do you define art? Is everything art? Does a banana on a wall count as art?
The Blackangel Posted September 25, 2022 Posted September 25, 2022 Art is completely open to personal interpretation. For example I hate so called "modern art". I was at the local art museum several years ago, and their featured exhibit was nothing more than a white canvas with 2 red stripes that intersected near a corner. HOW THE UNHOLY FUCK IS THAT ART?????? Unless it was da Vinci's drop cloth, it isn't. Sure they also have some great pieces and it's a nice museum, but give me a damn break. I've seen far superior art int he Ripley's museum, such as a full scale replica of a stagecoach made entirely from matchsticks. Including the glass. Though I don't know where the hell you would get a clear matchstick. As for my art, it's the written word. As I've said many times, I've written 2 full length novels, several short stories, and a hell of a lot of unconventional poetry. Yet I'm the only person on earth who can fuck up a stick figure.
Shagger Posted September 25, 2022 Posted September 25, 2022 To me, something qualifies as art when it's a man made creation that exists only to be admired. As soon as something has a function or a challenge of some kind, it can't really be art.
