Art Gallery Doesn't Know Art

[Omaha Red Sox]

To me Art is all about the feeling behind it. This had no feeling behind it

Can't art be about talent anymore too? I mean, I agree, art can depict many things, but shouldn't talent be at least one of them?

Yea thats true. But art shouldn't just be me throwing mud on a canvas to try to sell it

Right. Art should be exclusive, not something everyone else can do.

Art is the manifestation of someone's creativity

Key word: creativity

That word is thrown around way too much today, though.

Right. Exactly. Art (Vandelay)'s point about the slippery slope that we go down when we start to put art in a box is valid, BUT, not ALL creativity is the same.

It's like a joke. Jokes are funny because they're funny. We all have different humor and we all appreciate some jokes more than others, but if a joke has to be laboriously explained then it's not funny.

Some of the modern stuff like Anselm Keifer or Mark Rothko isn't that impressive in a book but is more interesting if you see the actual sucker the size of a garage door.
