My daughter is over in Paris right now and she got a chance to visit a museum which featured (whats that famous cubist artist's name, damn I hate senility) anyways she was going thru and wasn't overly impressed till she hit one room that had some good stuff (her opinion) in it. Turns out it wasn't his work but someone not so famous. Art is purely taste. I tend to like Dali, others like Andy Warhol which I can't stand. Art is anything and everything. Nature is art. I remember being fasinated with the compostion of a particular area of ground near the woods of my yard. Art is not soley human made either. To me, (and this is purely my own opinion) art is what I find attractive in some emotional way. Music is art but I don't care for Jazz. So art is anything and everything. But it is only art to those who view it as such. So when Susan (eelie) sees something in the art show which perplexes her, its not art to her, but it is to others. Art has got to be the hardest thing to nail down and concretely define! Ok I've had my say, sorry if my views conflict with anyone elses, they are just opinions and may not be true after all I am human and to be human is to err. LOL, I'm feeling good tonight, had a wonderful conversation with my daughter and a couple of beers. Cheers to all! Angela
