That sounds more like innovation than art. There's no art in the black square or in the soup can. No matter what your artistic tastes, you will never stop to admire a black square, and that's how you know it is not art. The same for the soup can. If you won't stop to admire it then it is not art. The black square and the soup can became "art" only because of hype and marketing. Art dealers hype up and promote non-art as art in order to make money.
- romwell 2y ago>There's no art in the black square or in the soup can That's a new hot take... For 1915. My friend, do yourself a favor and take an art history class. You'll both get to more art and understand it better in the process of doing so.
- breadwinner 2y agoLet's translate the black square to the world of music: Press the C key on your piano and hold it down for a full minute then release. This is the "music" released by someone who later became renowned for this music. The music experts call it an amazing work of art. You disagree, and you're told to take a music history class if you want to understand why that one-note music is an amazing work of art. Ridiculous, isn't it? To me your black square is a 1-minute C note, and your soup can is "Mary had a little lamb".
