What is ART?

No For real what is it? Try to define it. Andy Warhol once said that ART is what you can get away with. Sure, I can agree with him on many levels. If art is your passion, then definitely get away with it, let your mind get whisked away. But what is it? Why can I say that someone's work to me is art, as opposed to that ignorant butthole we all know is gonna disagree? Maybe that's the art of thought and individuality in itself. The fact that we can each make art our own.

Sometimes we can relate a piece to our past experiences and name it ART. If you think about it there's art in everything. 

The art of Love. The art of Hate.. then the actual art of Picasso or of De Vinci... or the art of Violence or of music, etc.. Art is everywhere in every shape and form, but most importantly art is anything you make it. Nobody said art had to please or be pretty. Whatever you can define based on your intrests & knowledge is art. Some people can sit there looking at Harring pieces or Basquiat pieces wondering what the fuck? (i'd think you're crazy but hey, lol) Maybe these artists just aim at that. You gotta experiment right? Nobody said that our thoughts on paper had to please everybody. Don't even get me started on my opinion with art critics... my responce stays dry & those people are useless.

Because really a human can't really go and judge someone elses thought in art form. Besides who can we please these days anyway...

If i havn't made it clear enough lately with all my posts I just wanna say it one more time. Be Yourself when creating something. Don't bite someone else's work either, because you know it's already been done. Dig deep and CREATE your own individual style. Truly people will hate... but others will definetly LOVE the way you make their mind think of your ART. So yeah mr. Warhol thanks for the thought.

Art is indeed what you can get away with.
