It is to me. What is your definition of art?

That's not your definition, it's a generic quote containing an entirely abstract definition that was made more to sound nice than offer up a technical definition of what art is. But whatever, I'll play you at your own game :

So on what grounds is the picture in question not art then? Was there no collaboration between god and the artist on that one? How do you know this?

I don't. There is no definition. That's ... the point. Why don't you answer the questions in my post like a good man. What's wrong, reverting to something else again?

Why isn't that picture Arista posted art in your eyes?

The art referred to in post one is art that costs money. Arista's pics are free just like a child's drawing on a fridge or graffiti. and the good man thing is not a good look for one trying to look cool.

So art can be defined based on it being free or not?

Your having a laugh, right?
