We all as human beings seek the approval of our peers, so to some extent, few things are ever "pure art" by my definition - including the Sistine Chapel.
But art is the product of a vision, the result of some internal feeling. Sometimes their vision is likeable, and that's a happy coincidence. Other times it's not, but maybe the artist gives up a little bit of their vision in order to make it more likeable. At some point, they've sold so much of it that you can't really call the product art any more.
- bobthepanda 6y agoRomeo and Juliet was produced for a mass open air theater with penny tickets for the working classes. Does that make Shakespeare not art, since it was intended for mass consumption?
- zdragnar 6y agoRomeo and Juliet is almost more satire than "art". Might as well ask if the Colbert Report was art.
