<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Mansons2005, post: 848267, member: 121&quot;]Anything that is an expression of the creator&#039;s mind and ability is &quot;art&quot; by definition. Its merits and detriments are all subjective within the viewer&#039;s vision and understanding. So while many things do not appeal to me, and while I can critique technique and subject matter, I can not compare two creations and deem one &quot;better&quot; than the other - just more to my standards of subject and technique (including &quot;style&quot; or genre). </p><p><br /></p><p>And to forestall the looming disagreements, please note that I base this opinion on the first statement above: &quot;Anything that is an expression of the <b>creator&#039;s mind and ability</b> is &quot;art&quot; by definition.&quot; A statement that automatically disregards things produced just for the sake of producing them (ie. factory art and its ilk).</p><p><b><font size="3"><br /></font></b></p><p><b><font size="3">ouch - almost broke my ankle falling off that crate of superior opinion and pompous drivel masquerading as a soap box...............</font></b>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
