Good Art Or Bad Art? How’s This For A Simplified Definition Of Art?

'In the ever changing world of art the definition of what art is seems to have become anything we can get away with. But at least one constant qualifier should always be maintained: If your art work is original enough or profound or perceptive or accomplished enough you shouldn’t have to try to get away with anything.'

Good Art Or Bad Art? How’s This For A Simplified Definition Of Art?
I know of two definitions of art that are only two words long. Art is:





"Expressive form" - a fellow grad student





"Experience, framed" - myself
Reply:art is anything with more than one peice to it
Reply:There is no "good art" or "bad art".


There is only "art you like" or "art you dont like".


And this day of age, they are now defined to be "art that is in" or "art that is out " just like a trend.
Reply:It has always been a very simple thing to me , art is that which shows the viewer (or listener) something he/she didn't notice before. That's it in a nutshell! Art opens up new worlds to both the deliverer and the receiver. Art is vital to life. But that's just me and how I always boil everything down to its simplest.
Reply:Love your Question and you are right on.
Reply:I personally believe that art is reflection of what someone sees and feels.





Another favorite definition:





"Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth."


Pablo Picasso
Reply:Nothing simple about that........





It would even make your own statement art...and why shouldn't it be?
Reply:I do agree with most of that, but I don't agree with it completely. Art doesn't have to be something that no one ever thought of before, for everything in this world is at least based on something. For example, painter Renoir actually made his style of art from Monet, which was also inspired by other artists of pointilism, such as Seurat. But others than that, it is a great way to define art.
Reply:That is your opinion, another person would admire a piece of art that doesn't do anything to you.


We all have a little artist in us, that is the beauty of art, that's the very point. in fashion for instance, i see lines of clothing that in my view look ridicules, people buy them because of the label - you can look at that as getting away with anything and you can apply this to any form of art and think that, but others might not agree with you, therefor, there is no good or bad art.
