 What is Art?What is the purpose of art? In its historical context the world of art lies outside the realm of artistics concerns;and then interacts the political,social,economic,scientific,tec Is Art a form on entertaining or it has a function to society? Or perhaps is it an expression of mankind, or an inner expression of the mind and soul. |

What is Art ... Art is alternate communication ... I feel that, if 'art' falls short of this then it is just craft and serves another purpose, perhaps form of entertainment and this is the area that must appease the 'political, social, economic, scientific, technological and intellectual' aspects of their time was like a filter Art ... be aural or visual ... should conceptualize something from us or impacting on us and once it is created it's impact flows on to others ... and I would agree that it is an expression of mankind and an inner expression of the mind and soul. |

'vulgar' meaning common or or the later meaning of crude... ...which leads onto another tilt on the subject ... If a writer is quoted, e.g. Joyce and "The artist, like the God of the creation, remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails." Quoted out of context of the work it occurred in is there a danger that the opinion is accredited to the writer rather than the character he is portraying? |

James Joyce It was from class when our Teacher mentioned it. What Joyce meant was that if you are watching a good painting (good art) your senses should stop wondering around. If there is stillnnes between you and the painting, then it is a good art. If not, he called it a "pornographic art". I imagine it was a lecture or one of his books in trying to explain the difference good and bad art. The only Joyce's character who question everthing about art,philosophy,life in general was Stephan Dedalus>>>>Perhaps he said it! |

... the Zen of Art ... lol Which can bring us to another slant on this. The interpretation of art be it written, visual or aural, through the culture of a different age or a different culture. Stilling the senses in a visual painting is more technique using composition down to the flow of the brush strokes... but stilling the mind ... that is something I haven't considered before ... ... the ideas run with that one to the concept of 'satori' ... Then is good Art an infusion of so much knowledge and awareness that the focus contracts to stillness ... |

The senses If the senses does not give me the right information of this art, then I have not capture the essence of this object of art, or it becomes a bad object of art. If the mind is still, then the senses are shut off, and I see the this great art with the eye of the mind......or the stillness arrives. As you mentioned "The Zen of Art". |

Duchamp and his revolutionary vision of art Duchamp defined concept of the ready-made or found object. He challenged the tradition of preconceptions of what art is. He stated that it was not important whether or not "Mr Mutt" had made the work with hiw own hands ; what mattered was that he had chosen it. Therfore the creation ws not important but the idea of the selection was. This revolutionary movement was named "Dadaism" or the DADA art. |

funtion of Art Early 20century the Russian revolution took art in another direction. Art should serve the masses, the elite of wealthy individual were the only ones who the access to musuems, go to the opera, read literature and poetry. Art serve Man! |

Art? what are the common essentials I guess the man in the street secretly accepts the third definition without asking these institutions where the values on which judgments of artistic merit originate. The third definition begs the question. To me the answer seems obvious if a work achieves unique insight into 'higher truths' or provides an elevated form of self realization the work must be a work of art. |

Joyce Art at its very best (IMO) is the only way to express the part of us that we cannot define in words, images or sound. Yet it finds that words, images and sound are the only way it can express that inexpressible part of us. With this contradiction inherent, art can only ever be our closest approximation to the part of us we do not know but seek to communicate with. And it should knowingly acknowledge itself as an approximation of truth or communication likewise. In short, I feel that art is a journey with no end |

Joyce and pornographic art "Portrait of an Artist' is a very good book.... |
||
|
I should also probably amend my own mistake and say that the book is called 'portrait of the artist'. For some reason I always call it 'of an artist'. |

Creating Art Think about the joyful, sensual, spiritual, interactive, meaningful, consequential, physical, moral, expressive, communicative, enduring, and playful differences. Creating Art is like having sex with Life. |
||
|
thinking about sex, for a moment... "ART is to LIFE what PORNOGRAPHY is to SEX" what do you think? So creating art is like making porn, and viewing art is like watching other people have sex. That kind of thing. Any takers? |
