art
[ahrt]
–noun
1. the quality, production, expression, or realm, according to aesthetic principles, of what is beautiful, appealing, or of more than ordinary significance.
"What is art?" and "But is it art?" are two questions that have plagued society for years. Even the above definition, straight from the pages of the dictionary, is going to find disagreement 'cause let's face it - some art is absolutely hideous stuff. When you take into account that tastes vary, the problem only compounds. Honestly, in my view, when it comes right down to it... You can't define 'art'. Everyone's going to disagree on precisely what it is and what it means. In the end, if someone says it's art... It is. It may sound like a cop-out but believe me, I've heard endless debates on the subject and nobody agrees.
