(9,290 posts)I never said it's not art. I made a joke about art in the eye of the beholder and between the painters legs.
Then I precede to give an example of what I think of when I think art and proceeded to share the work and name of my favorite fine artist.
I absolutely love his style. Its so realistic, and it blows me away to think that had I not seen a picture describing an alternative version of the birth of venus I would never have heard of him. I would love to be able to draw and paint like that.
I'm very well aware that art is subjective. Some I like and some I don't. I fully admit to preferring concrete art over the abstract, but I do have an appreciation of both. I love the art found cartoons and animation for example, which, technically, is a bit of an abstraction.
I don't care much for the likes of Pollock. It seems like he is just throwing paint on a canvas (though I know he put way more effort into his works than that). That is my taste.
Sorry if I offended you. Again, I was just making a joke (which I thought was obvious) and then stated my own preference.
