Hi all,
"What makes a good piece of art?"
The theme was raised by Judith last Tuesday. Let's try and answer it the best we can from our points of view (we are all beholders after all, aren't we? ;o) ).
Think of what the question also raise:
- there can be some "bad" piece of art (otherwise why use "good" in front of "piece of art?). If you agree that there can be "bad" and "good" art, try to think of examples of what you would call bad art and of the reasons why it is so for you? Sometimes trying to define opposites helps define their contrary: defining bad art may help us understand what "good art" is.
- some may disagree on the use or bad or good art, thinking "good" in front of "art" is redundant and that "bad" art may not be art at all... and then we are left with the recurring question (guess which one? ;o) ), simply...
...what is "art"?
It could be a good idea to come to Tuesday's meeting with your own definition of art (not just one from the top of our heads at the last minute which may end up with our repeating the eternal same vague clichés).
Food for the week-end,
Best,
Bruno
