Naxar Nugaaleed Posted August 25, 2013 There is no definitive answer to the question what is art. In fact we all appreciate it in different ways. The my way or the highway geeljire mode is not the best way to approuch. God forbid we should only appreciate art deemed The real by the aesthetic of haatu lol.

Allyourbase Posted August 25, 2013 You are right but it is not true that there should be a basic universal truth to art, be it beauty, emotion, narrative etc.? What constitutes modern art today is basically decided upon by a very small group of mega wealthy collectors (Saatchi et al) whose involvement drives and manufactures demand.

Allyourbase Posted August 26, 2013 I meant the actual calligraphy, did you write that yourself or did you use someone elses image to imprint on the piece of wood? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
