Quoted text begins.My gut feeling is that interesting as it may be to see a cold dumb plastic
lifelike naked representation of ourselves many times larger than life
that
does not necessarily make it art.
End of quote.


Let me see if I have this right.Stone,must be art.Plastic,can't be art.Does
that pretty well sum it up?
Now there's nothing quite as cold as stone to most people,we have sayings
such as"heart of stone" and "dumber than a box of rocks" to express how we
feel about stone in general and yet we still go to museums and such to view
the larger than life,mostly naked "art" of centuries past rendered in marble
and other stone.
So what is it we're not getting I wonder.

It's not the material that makes it art it's the artist.

Welcome to the dinner party Charles.
