signalsArt Is In The Eye Of The Beholder
October 26th 2008 15:27
Who can actually say what art is? Art is a personal expression. It shocks, it entertains, and often it intrigues those that behold it. Art has crossed the boundries to the point it is perceived as evil because of religion. Anyway you look at it, art is in the eyes of the beholder.
It seems that sometimes art takes a turn where it arouses debate. This especially happens when one artform is acceptable and another isn't. In my lifetime I have seen what I perceive to be fine art and other times what I thought was crap. The thing is that art is a freedom of expression and it is personal. Nobody can really define art as was once proven on an episode of the Simpsons, where Marge was against one artform and not another.
Truth be told, if you censor one form of art you have to censor them all. Whether deemed appropriate or not, art has to be accepted as a whole regardless of our beliefs.
I want to go on record as saying, that I in no way consider the following expression in the article as a form of art. But who can really say? Always remember that much like Marge, you can't have it both ways or you are viewed as a hypocrite.
Halloween art? Or stupid kid?
