Art is whatever the janitor decides not to to throw in the trashcan. In other words, it have to be beautiful. It have to be something that an everyman want to buy. It does not matter what kind of meaning an artist put into a painting.
Erotica is art because it's beautiful. Sex stories, however explicit, is beautiful. Hentai are often beautiful because they are drawn by artists who care about beauty.
Porn are usually not beautiful. They have ugly characters and they are often completely forgettable.
- Tichy 15y agoI assure you if I would paint something, it wouldn't be very beautiful either. Does that show that paintings are not art?
- kiba 15y agoI assure you if I would paint something, it wouldn't be very beautiful either. Does that show that paintings are not art? I didn't say painting aren't art. I say that beautiful things are not art. That being said, beautiful is a spectrum. So in my view, something could be art if it is slightly beautiful or done with some slight skills. However, the ultimate test is whether or not it would be mistaken as trash.

- zerostar07 15y agoSay what you want about modern art, as long it can make people show interest in a trash bag, it's powerful. Porn just exploits (and fools) your basic circuits, like drugs of addiction.
- vacri 15y agoArt absolutely, positively does not have to be 'something that an everyman wants to buy'. Art can quite happily exist with an audience of one. It also most certainly does not have to be beautiful - 'confrontational' art frequently violates this idea.
