I mean, you didn't, by any chance, destroy this fabulous one-of-a-kind piece?<br /><br />I think this is an interesting discussion (your joking intent notwithstanding).

A person will consider something "art" if it permits them to have whatever type of experience they seek art in order to obtain. The intent of the would-be artist certainly determines their own definition of the finished work. However, the judgment of whether a given work is "art" or not must be made separately by each individual who encounters it. Which is why current pop culture, especially in America, has the tendency to have talking heads refer to every parroty entertainer as "an artist". because a viewer or listener whose tastes are not clearly self-defined will experience all manner of (what I personally feel is) inane schlock as art, simply because they're told that's what it is. <br /><br />And truly, whether it's because someone told you "this is art" or because--like seeing your kids happily playing with pinecones--the experience of a given work might move you to name that work "art." And you'd be right.Fiat Lexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10441862977921307080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989966954446423670.post-71322987808373875692010-04-14T09:32:06.725-07:002010-04-14T09:32:06.725-07:00Arend, that would make it a question of good vs. b...Arend, that would make it a question of good vs. bad art.

I like to think that there are some objective parameters in the acknowledging of art but in fact it seems there is no such thing as objective, in art. Again, I hate to think of it as just a subjective reaction.<br />Perhaps there are definitions for certain situations....thank you for the query, anyway!Lina Basilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04102220169391907310noreply@blogger.com
