What is Art?
Does Art reflects life? Like life it can be wonderful, frustrating, beautiful or ugly, uplifting and challenging. What do artists produce? Is a nail the same as a sculpture because they are both man-made?
Who creates it?
Artists; those oddball characters like Michelangelo, who lay on their backs for years painting a ceiling, or chop up a cow Damien Hirst and call it an artwork, or even cut off their own ear as Van Gogh did in the pursuit of creating paintings.
But there is so much more to it than that!
- What about Creativity? Inspiration and Virtuosity?
- Artworks, intrinsically, are worth nothing, but can sell for millions
- A nail and a sculpture, both are man-made- one is called art one isn’t, why?
- Why do we fill galleries full of paintings and sculpture?
