...but some nitwit melting cheese all over an apartment is.
If you like it, and it makes you feel good when you look at it, then it's art. I don't give a shit what the critics say. Art is yours and is undefined.
I think as Serge isn't here , what he may have been suggesting is two fold..
Firstly that the use of photoshop techniques detract from the artist value of the peice in the same manner that a poster of an oil painting does not show the depth and structure of the brush strokes.
Secondly art should stimulate some other deeper more "felt" reaction besides that of the visual of the subjects.
Anbd on this I kinda agree.
Its a nice touched up picture of a fat beloved cat....but is it art?
To me it is a picture of a cat sleeping on a sofa.

To you it is art
My disagreement is two fold
1. I did not alter a finished work of art and called my own. The retouched picture is the finished product, not merely a copy or modification (like a poster of a painting).
2. This isnt a picture of a sleeping beloved cat. This is my representation of feelings I had when I saw said cat, in this particular moment, in that particular light. I tried to express different things through this piece... how well are they expressed? Will the same emotions be raised in another viewer?
Who knows, this relativity is what makes the beauty of art...
p.s.: I hate that stupid cat. Its my gf's cat...

Well that wasn't really directed at Serge so to say. It was more about how some people like to define what art is and what it is not. Melting cheese all over shit in my opinion is retarded , but some call it art. If that can be art, then a retouched photo can surely be art in my opinion.
Art is what you see it as anyway, there is no definition. If it envokes a thought, or a feeling, then it's art to me. And it's everywhere, not just hanging on people's walls or in museums but everywhere I look.
I am with you...after visiting Miro's museum in Barcelona, I can honestly attest....
shit on the stick ain't art, even if 200 critics say so...it's still shit on the stick.
DrGuille, I stand corrected, this isn't art, it's Photoshop Art.....not bad for retouched, manipulated picture (I know some manipulated wines, which fit the same profile, but "terroir wise..."
oh well, EVERYBODY have their own opinions about art and it's all good*.
