In theory I agree, a line on paper can indeed be art to the artist and to those who knows what that line means. For the vast majority tohough, it's only a line. To me, art is something that is pleasant to look at (yeah I know: What a dreadfully oldfashioned idea) - allthough sometimes I really like an artist for his or her ability to paint "photoreal" stuff. I like art where I can SEE what it depicts, and nothing throws me more off than a heap of rubbish hammered to a canvas and then given a fancy name. The Emperor's New Clothes, anyone? But of course.. Some may think it's the finest of art, perhaps because they know what the artist meant, or because it somehow speaks to them. Some people will also "oooh" and "aaah" because they won't like to admit that they do not see the art in the garbageheap. Art doesn't need to be something you can touch. Art can be poetry, or a play. Some like Samuel Beckett, some don't (you may guess which category I am in...) Is it art when you put together some words and call it Haiku? Who's to decide? Again, if YOU like it, it's art to you.

You just can't put the words "Poserites" and "happy" in the same sentence - didn't you know that? LaurieA
