What a load of crap;).
Hello Esben,
Maybe you could argument that a bit more? Why is my opinion "a load of
crap"?
Maybe you could flesh out your argument that "it's not art".
Hello Erik,
Thanks for your reply, that's a question to which I can reply sensibly.
I'm have to take care thought that I'm not mixing things up. Art,
talent, craftsmanship, skills...
I just don't like what he's doing, that's right. And that's what I used
as my standing ground. Not good. But it provoked a good discussion, so
it wasn't in vain.
Personally for me art is something that spawned from a creative process,
that is a display of someone's talent and that has an original approach.
"Art that does not communicate is not art. It's just a spot on the
wall." - To paraphrase something my artist daughter said in response to
a famous modern painting we saw at Pompidou Center in Paris.
