What is Art?
Last night I caught portion of the Julia Roberts’s film “Mona Lisa Smiles”. In the movie there is a scene where a college class discusses what art is? This is the eternal argument. What is art and what isn’t? The college professor shows photos of art; a modern piece that was dark and grotesque, another was museum style classic, another was 5th grade art and another was a photo.The photo was argued to be only a snap shot but the teacher interjects what if it taken by Ansel Adams is it still only a snapshot?Being married to an artist with a long artist heritage it was an interesting discussion and one I have spent some time thinking about.I don’t have any strong revelation to this argument other than the classic response of I know art when I see it.
Any way I was still thinking about this topic today when I stumble across this site… Dirty Car Art. So is a smiley face with wash me on the back of dirty car art? Or is Dirty Car really Art?
On a related car link how about practicing your parking online?
