What is art?

[ricmitch_uk]

Following the huge success, of Lemon&Lime's thread, 'What is Love?' I thought I'd do my own.
What is art?
The best answers will be put against each other in a poll.
So go on, share your opinions with the world.

Art is self expression

Art is swollowing... Ummm.. err, oops, wrong thread

[ricmitch_uk]

lol


Art can be anything as long as the critics like it.

[Jethro]

A piece of art, (panting, sculpture, novel etc) should give the viewer/reader more than just it's physical appearance. It should generate an emotional response.

Take that journal of high cultural input Playboy. That can generate all sorts of emotions, and sticky sheets, and.......blame Dennis

[denniswrenn]

I'm sorry

[Jethro]

You just had to drag this thread into the gutter didn't you. Onya Dennis, am thinking between You, Parksie, and myself that the site don't stand a chance.

Jethro: Emotional response is usually this isnt art this is *****.

Art is whatever the hell some kooked up "artist", who gets his cat and dips it's paws in paint then it walks around on the canvas, says it is!

He could say is crap is art and some **** would say ,my god what a genius!

[ricmitch_uk]

There's this guy in France (probably), who covers a canvas with his own sh¡t and sells it. It's like a circle, he eats, he sh¡ts, paints with his sh¡t, sells it, buys more food, etc. etc....

Errrmmm... It's a house on wheels! Can't you see that? It's a representative piece for a mobile building until Behemoth draws me a real picture.

I must take full credit for that masterpiece, it should not be confused in any way, shape, or form with the quality stuff that Behemoth produces.

Some of his hand drawings (i.e. drawings by hand, not drawings of hands) are what I would class as art. He has quite a talent for it.

It might run in the family as his mum's a painter.
