Bullshit...for a start, WHO or WHAT on earth has the right to define "art".

There is NO person, NO entity, NO nothing that has, or ever will have, the right to define "art".

Art isn't "art" just because some dictionary, list of rules, or self-infactuated philosopher says it is!

But if you live your life around the opinions of others, that's your call. Personally, I have a mind and opinion of my own, and I'll trust it to tell me what "art" is when I see it ;-)

This thread is - as was quoted "A completely-pointless-except-for-fun "what is art" thread.", because the fact of the matter is, there will NEVER be a "true" definition of "art"...

...and the very fact that we're all here debating this, only goes to prove my point - you're trying to define something that hasn't, and NEVER will be defined.

WTF...a list of rules!

Give me a break.
