What is art?

Well, they say beauty is in the eye of the "beholder", and I for one, agree with this.

So then, art should be something that's visually pleasing to the beholder. We're all unique,
and what may be really pleasing to one, could be equally revolting to another.

Art has become more than just a picture, and rightly so.

When I look at my Petrof (grand piano), it pleases me as much as when I play it,
because to my mind, it's a "work of art".

When I see a naked woman (a chance would be a fine thing), it pleases me because I see her,
as a "work of art".

That said...

Someone once called my Petrof a "big ugly black thing with brass bits on it", and someone might say "your ideal woman could pass for an entry to Crufts".

Now ask yourself, would such comments be justified?

The answer is yes and no, there is no "true" definition of art, because remember...

...beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and the beholder is always unique!
