| What is Art? |
| Art is the inversion of reality, or often times, a clear look into reality. And most of the time, art makes about as much sense as that first sentence. Art is not about pretty pictures. It's about how you sell what you create. Let me illustrate. |
 |
| Let's say for example, I called this picture I took, My House. It doesn't look like art does it? It simply looks like a house. However, if I call it The Dwelling Place it becomes a lot better. And if I tell you that this house is representative of the poor homes of the working class of rural Alabama, it gets even better. That is what I mean. |
| So, if any of you reading this have a reeking pile of poo, that you drew while you were seven in Bible School and recovering from a broken arm, it can be art. Just call it...The Blind Devotion of a Seven-Year-Old to a Crippled God and give them a story about how you think god is dead or some such. It'll be fun to make stuff up off the top of your head, and if you're good, you can make tons of money. Just look at Andy Warhol. Is that art? No, but he invented this whole "art is how you sell it" idea. Hail Andy Warhol, leader of this art topic! |
