Who determines that it is art? The art of Tapies

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.

In art there is an infrastructure which is formed by galleries, critics of the media of newspapers and magazines, fairs and museums. The museum curators are what determine what they buy museums. To answer your last question, they decide what is art and what is not art because they are the experts.

Graffiti has existed since the time of the Egyptians and Romans and found graffiti in the catacombs of Rome and the ruins of Pompeii.

For graffiti on the streets, that is not considered public art, while not essential because it is considered visual pollution and vandalism. The graffiti is art when done in cloth and presented in a gallery, not a wall painted on the road. Keith Haring (second last picture) and Jean Michel Basquiat (last picture) were the greatest graffiti artists of all time. Jean Michel Basquiat

became famous when several people who did graffiti on the streets, did a show in Times Square in an abandoned house and invited a number of important galleries. In the exhibition the gallery Annani Nosei Basquiat became interested and took him as their artist, paying U.S. $ 10.000 per month to survive. Patricia

in some decorative arts museums exhibits (first image, table Fabio Novembre Gerrit Rietveld chair and Tiffany lamp) which includes decorative and functional objects made of metal, wood, glass, ceramics and furniture which are mostly interior designs for offices and homes. Decorative art is considered art, because art is unique and no plastic is made in commercial production, as is the decorative art. In addition, decorative art is to decorate and functional. Plastic art is used to add personality to a room, also decorated for granted and is not functional.

Patricia Thanks for your question. Augusto

How Does A Camera Work? Diagram

Why is so well appreciated Tapies art when I see it is an art devoid of merit and whose release had much to do ideological criteria as was the fact of being an opponent of Franco? Could not create an observatory of independent reviewers who appreciate art irrespective of the ideological label artists and only for its aesthetic values? Juan, Spain

Dear John, I think you do not like the art of Antoni Tapies (first three pictures) and maybe going to be difficult to convince you of their merits. But the art world does not care about your political ideology or your way of thinking. Picasso (fourth image) was also against Franco. I can give you another example more convincing. The famous Mexican artist Diego Rivera (fifth picture) was a communist, but still, worked and painted murals in the United States. One of the murals were painted in the Ford Motor Company of Detroit in 1930, the era of the great depression era. Many people objected to the mural was painted by Diego Rivera. After painting, the mural he was branded as "vulgar and non-American." But the wall still exists and is considered one of the best murals of Rivera. Nelson Rockefeller, an icon of American industry, saw the mural in Detroit and asked for a mural for the RCA building in New York. Diego Rivera painted the mural, but he had painted the face of Lenin from the mural subjects and therefore destroyed the mural after 4 months. Everyone knew that Rivera was a communist, but his art was accepted on their merits, not ideology.

The first artist to paint abstract art was Vassily Kandinsky (last picture), who was Russian. He gives the credit to Kandinsky as the first artist who painted abstract art. We do not take the value that his work deserves for his way of thinking, their politics or their place of birth.

For Tapies, its success is not anti-Francoist ideology. He is an artist well known in the art world, his works are in the best museums in the world. That says it all. If an artist is accepted by the art infrastructure, political ideology is not for or against any scheme, because he deserves to be there. Juan

most critics are independent and there is no need to create an observatory of independent reviewers. And we, because I am also an art critic, we are impartial and we do not get in the way of thinking, their politics or ideology of the artist, but because his work is all that matters. In art there are no boundaries or political ideologies, there is art, and its true merits. Juan

I hope my answer has been removed from your doubts. Thanks for your question. Augusto
