Unfortunately, art is whatever anybody in the world says it is.I have seen reports on some of the things “artists” have presented, such as toilets, random garbage, even feces in a can! And what’s even worse is that people will buy them for thousands of dollars! I remember a pretty funny bit where a gorilla or elephant or something put some wipes and splotches on a canvas and art “experts” were oohing and aahing over it!
NPR last night told of the repainting and imminent demolition of Five Points in Queens, which had held decades worth of monumental and highly artistic graffiti that people came from all over the world to see. The owner didn’t see it that way.

Brewster wouldn’t know Art if he hit him in the face.

No. Art is that guy who talks about UFOs, time travel, and Bigfoot on the radio.

The original version of “Jeopardy!” was a fraud. They promised Art Fleming, but no one ever flemed any art.

Michelangelo’s “Creation of Adam” in that chapel actually covers up graffiti that was there – a great big 16.

From my days at SIU, the art department kids had t-shirts made that read “What is Art? Art is a window washer.”

That said I’m fond of dogs playing poker. Any picture with dogs smoking pipes has got to be good!!!

No, Brewster, the Vandals were the barbarians who swept across Europe in the 5th Century AD.

Michelangelo kept drawing and sculpting penises.
