Hi!
That´s a funny thing, "Art" - at least for us here in Germany . .
"Art" is something very "serious", very "important" . . and somehow very "academic" over here.
You´re hardly an "artist" when you didn´t study at an "art-academy" with a "famous" professor, who had at least once his work shown at the "Documenta" . . .
In my eyes "art" is what a human being expresses, visualizes him-/herself with. No matter what that is - a painted stick, a song, some stones glued together or even a washing-away scribble in the sand on a beach (as Picasso did once) . . or maybe even a photograph . . .
What makes a "good" and "individual" picture a piece of "art"?
Is it different in the US? Sometimes european painters, musicians or even photographers have to have some sucess abroad to be accepted as "artists" when they come back to Europe . . And vice-versa, as i learned . .
Isn´t that funny?
best, Klaus
