I saw on Ripley's Believe It or Not the other day a guy who makes vomit art. He just regurgitates various colors and textures onto a canvas and people spend good money on it as if they can't vomit on a canvas themselves. I don't see how he gets to call this art? Can I frame some used toilet paper and hold a gallery showing? People are constantly saying video games aren't art but vomit, or soup cans, or imprints of body parts dipped in paint are? So the question is, how do you define art? I know a lot of the people here are artists so I expect some dang good answers people.

Re: What is "art?"
ANYTHING IS ART."At first it just looked like a picture of a bunch of lily pads, but then I started scraping at it with my pocket knife and the whole painting just sort of spoke to me," Schmidt said. "For the first time, I finally understand what Monet was trying to get across in her work."

Re: What is "art?"
Isnt there an elephant that they get to slap paint onto a canvas and people buy it for tens of thousands of dollars? I know theres also some european 8 year old kid who paints stuff, and its abstract looking crap. But for some reason snooty art criticts found it to be amazing, and alot of his paintings have gone for thousands of dollars.
Ive also seen paintings done by people that are friggin amazing. Far beyond any picasso or other famous painting, but because they are just normal people nobody gives a ****.Last edited by The_Real_Crunk; 09-17-2007, 04:22 AM.
