Just leave a comment stating what you think 'art' is. That is all. I find this question interesting, but perhaps the question itself is invalid. Is art even a useful word to describe anything? Is even thinking about what art is and is not a useful enterprise? If there is no fixed and generally accepted definition of what art is, can there be a natural talent for it? | |

Art is that which prolongs the sensation of an object; that which makes the stone more 'stoney'.

But, the book cover is the "art" part of the book. "
you don't think the book part of a book is the art?

art is just expression. plain and simple. thats what makes art in its purest form boring and lazy.
Great art is a cultivation of this. a refinement.

Mixedtape, reread everything I said carefully (in context).
"you don't think the book part of a book is the art?"
The book part is the art, not the "art".

Haha! Datathinner, that's rad. Pure art is boring and lazy, great art is a refinement of boring and lazy pure art.  I like this definition because it means that the laziest crap I've ever done is just purer art.

nagrom said: "one of my pet pieves is "Book Covers" that need a 300page book (or any writing really) to help the "viewer/reader" "Get it.""
nagrom said: "the book cover is the "art" part of the book."
and.
nagrom said: "Essentially, I'm saying that a book is a piece of art where the description gets blown way out of proportion and the "art" is scaled to something completely insignificant."
Your analogy sucked
