Since 'concepts' are closely bound up with language, concept art is a kind of art of which the material is language.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If Art relates itself to an Object, it becomes descriptive, divisionist, literary.
Art is the means by which we communicate what it feels like to be alive - in the past, that was mixed up with other illustrative duties, but that was still its central function that has been liberated in the art called modern.
Because art as a pursuit, as a concept, as an ideal, constantly elevates one above the pragmatic, one is inclined to discuss art in heightened terminologies. For me, it is just what I do all day long.
Art is essentially communication. It doesn't exist in a vacuum. That's why people make art, so other people can relate to it.
All of the significant art of today stems from Conceptual art. This includes the art of installation, political, feminist and socially directed art.
Conceptual art became the liberating idea that gave the art of the next 40 years its real impetus.
Hence it happens that one takes words for concepts, and concepts for the things themselves.
Defining art is huge; I feel like it's such a subjective thing. It's more like what's not art. You know what I mean? I think there can be an art in the way people live their lives, and art can be a gift someone gives to somebody.
Art is the objectification of feeling, and the subjectification of nature.
For me, art is such a wide concept - anything can be art.
