Techno Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 How do you define art? Is everything art? Does a banana on a wall count as art? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Blackangel Posted September 25, 2022 Share 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 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
