The problem, as I see it, is that some people are trying to impose their definition of "art" upon others. Art is highly subjective and, as such, its definition can be different from person to person. One example I will use from personal experience is the "junk art" or "junk sculpturing". (ie, Taking junk/trash and making a piece of "artwork" from it.) To me, the majority still looks like junk, accurately placed junk, but junk nonetheless. Therefore, by my personal definition, I would not call this art. However, to someone else - and I would think especially the artist, it could be more "artistic" than some of the finest ancient marble sculptures. Therefore, who's interpretation is correct? "Art is in the eye of the beholder."
