Who determines that something is art? Urban movements as graffiti, designer furniture, "That is considered art? Who determines what is art and what not? Patricia, Caracas.
I have been forced to continue answering this question, by the comments of several people.
Because art is not an exact science, there are artists who are very good without being in museums. They sell their work themselves, through their blogs as Oncoy Rogger, Luis Palau Berastein, Marco Costa Salazar and many others around the world. There are also artisans who by his greatness of works have become good artists such is the case of Gregory Sulca who is a master of tapestry. That the works of these artists this or not in a museum does not take away how good they are as artists.
But as I am an art historian by profession, so I have to talk about works of art found in museums or may become a museum. Since museums are considered the pinnacle of art. Also because every institution has to have parameters creative, if not all who do the drawing and plan of a house was considered an architect and it is not.
Once I recommended
Picasso a young artist, he said. How old are you? I said, is 28 and Picasso said, "when you bring me 40 years." Like, if he still paints and lives of art at age 40, should be good. That also means that to be an artist one has to live from their art. There are several factors that make an artist. His popularity in the galleries, museums and live only for his art, if you have another input or another job to support, it means not living in his art. But as I mentioned the art not a science and there may be an artist not make much of production and is a tremendous artist. Leonardo da Vinci made only 12 works of art. But 2 of them are world famous.
Another thing to consider is what kind of work an artist does. The artists who paint realistically sell their work at prices less than those who make abstract art. For the simple reason that they are not creating, are imitating the real world. An artist has to create his own visual language, they just see a play and know the visual language without having to read the artist's name. That's when the artist became famous through his own visual language that artist.
would also have to define what is art and the answer is manifold. Each artist, historian and professor of art gives a different response. Someone said, is what differentiates us from animals, but now they do art and elephants and monkeys that definition no longer applies. Now you might say, is what is appreciated by those who are not animals.
Many comments supplement what I say. So your comments are very valuable, besides the people who send comments rather than passive, are active and thus become larger as well. Give your opinion is valuable, interactive and thus should be a blog. In a newspaper you can not give advice unless it's online, for that is that through internet to give his opinion of what you read if it's a blog. I accept criticism as well, that makes me better, thank you very much to all who have commented. Augusto
