i believe that art is anything that screams to be released from an artist. it can have function, it can be attention grabbing, or it can be lost for the ages. the real question is: what is an artist? i think it is someone who is not only creative in certain medium(s) but has the ability to look at life and civilization from a detached point of view. i think so many of the great ones die young trying to either perpetuate or reconcile that detached point of view. someone can be artistic and draw or sculpt or write songs extremely well, but that doesn't mean someone is an artist. music is an art form and i could list hundreds of bands that have a million fans and no clue about what art is. if anything is inherent, i think it's art. probably not, but it seems that if you're not born with it, then it comes on pretty early in life. what the fuck do i know

Art is a form of expression that seeks to convey a message or invoke an emotion. If you've managed to get your message out (whether it is opinion or political, etc) then you were successful. If you obtain a reaction (anger, happiness, etc) then you were successful.




what if an incredible "piece" is created without any prior intention of it coming into existence?
