You can't define it. I suppose a very loose definition is anything that expresses creativity or a specific thought or emotion which is externalized into the art medium. Which is why, say, a copied picture or a song performed by someone who did not write it is not art IMO.

No matter how stupid a piece of modern art may look, if it has something to say which is flying over most peoples heads then yes, it is art, because it has something to say. If it has nothing to say and it's just ~kRaZyNeSs for the sake of it then no, not art.

Something meaningful which expresses emotion through different forms. To me, the biggest piece of Art is the World in its entirety.

I think if it needs too much explanation to what it is then it is a fail

Do you apply that rule of thumb right across all things in your life?

I wouldn't say so, considering the amount of explanation you need to give is entirely relative to the person your explaining it to.

Again, subjectivity.

Art is something of beauty. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. People have different perceptions and interpretations.

You missed the point. Read Trumpet's post that I quoted, and think of all the explanation he's given the Bible.

Another attempt to divert the arguement onto something or someone else. I simply asked if you applied that rule of thumb right across your life.

My you are a bit prickly tonight arent you?

It's going to be awesome. All the women and drugs you want, and repeat screenings of the Robocop sequels.

I've heard they're thinking of changing it to Spider-Man 3.
