Are you saying art is best when it is a critique? Or are you saying art is, at best, merely a critique instead of a creation?
Either way, I disagree. It's inappropriate to impose a single continuum of quality onto all art.
- SFJulie 10y agoArt is in the form we know, at least a critique of the form of art preceding it. Else, art would be encrusted with either a stochastic form, or a fixed point that would never be evolving. Art being related to craftsman like building where technique are evolving I see nothing shocking in my assertion. Art is like progress in craftsmanship it always questions the past best practices. Hence, coding is pure Art!
- xapata 10y ago> a critique of the form of art preceding it. That's a very generous definition of "critique". I hung a little bit of cloth from Guatemala on my wall. Is that a critique of centuries of textiles? I suppose we can make a distinction between fine arts and decorative arts. I find that boundary line very difficult to draw.
