'til it is so packed with art that it gives
you goose bumps.
"Let me see if I have this right. Stone, must be art. Plastic,can't be
art.Does that pretty well sum it up?"
my 2 cents :)
art ... is a TWO person endeavor. What the artist states may not be the exact thing that is perceived by any particular observer. What one observer perceives is almost guaranteed to differ in some way from the perception of another person. What is perceived is ALWAYS coloured by the observer's own personal history, emotional state, abilities to perceive detail, colour, form, nueance etc. and their own personal programming which identifies symbols as having a pre-determined meaning. Yes, there are universal symbols but any shade of subtlety involved precludes them from being the sole subject of 'great' art. I believe great art is determined by its ability to speak to or move the masses not its ability to say the same thing to each and every person who views it.
