By mdt, at the above thread, approx post #8...

"My definition of Art- Any deliberate, aesthetic act designed to illicit an emotional, intellectual or creative response. The primary characteristic is that the act (the creation of a painting, a song, dance, theater, performance, etc...) must be deliberate. Nature, while often aesthetically pleasing, is not art.

Whether or not it is “good” art is up to the viewer. Whether or not someone decides to spend “good” money on “bad” art is their own problem. Make or buy what you like and you will always be happy."
I totally agree with mdt. I only wish I could have phrased it so succinctly:-))

Cheers,

(PS - I would have spelt "illicit" as "elicit" - but that's me being pedantic.. I'm well prone to typos myself)
