Can works be made which are not 'of art'?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Art is not in some far-off place. A work of art is the expression of a man's whole personality, sensibility and ability.
There can be nothing exclusive about substantial art. It comes directly out of the heart of the experience of life and thinking about life and living life.
There must be some one quality without which a work of art cannot exist; possessing which, in the least degree, no work is altogether worthless.
To create a work of art is to create the world.
A work of art is a world in itself reflecting senses and emotions of the artist's world.
Art is essentially communication. It doesn't exist in a vacuum. That's why people make art, so other people can relate to it.
Art, unlike the trades in the artistic capacity of fashion and food, can literally be anything. It can be the negation of itself and conceptually not present.
Art is the ultimate luxury good, but one that can make you think, give a you a blast of beauty and enhance your life. Even if the work's made of plasticine.
Anything is an art if you do it at the level of an art.
A work of art is one through which the consciousness of the artist is able to give its emotions to anyone who is prepared to receive them. There is no such thing as bad art.
