What is “art”? This is a question.
Is it something only
people can create? Or is it something created by any act that a beholder finds
to be artistic.
For example, today I passed by a wooden armchair on our patio.
I have passed it many times this summer.
Today I was struck by the colour and
position of the chair, and of a natural act that has been imposed upon it. I
took a picture of it.
Is the object of the picture art? Or is it the act of
taking the picture that has made it art?
Does it matter? It is a thing of
interest. It is a thing of beauty in the eyes of this beholder.
