Is this art?

This is an example of modern art.  Do you think this qualifies as art?  How do you feel about this piece being in a legitimate gallery/museum?

    No. This is not art because it is not showing anything unique or creative.

    i dont think so.....

     

    what is this anyways?

    I believe that anyone can creat art but I dont believe anything is art. This blue piece is nothing, this is like saying that a piece of blue cardboard paper is art, or that the white wall is art. I think this is a joke.

    This is not art. I feel that anything someone cant just randomly put together without any thought or meaning should be considered a form of random fun.

    I believe everything that communicates is art, and the communication that I mean here is very subjective, as the definition of art is. If the creator of a piece of something intended to convey a message through it, it is an art to him, whether it be an art or not to others. And if a person perceives from something a message or an impression, it is an art to her, even if its creator didn't mean to put a message in it and thus it isn't an art to the creator.

    We usually don't believe in the subjectivity of the intension and expression and interpretation, which define a production as a subjective art, and I think this is because our views on art is distorted by the public display of art works; those displayed are simply the ones that are recognized as art by more people. If a Van Gogh doesn't give you any impression, it simply isn't an art for you.

    To me this does not qualify as art because it doesn't display thoughtfulness, creativity, talent, or provoke any worthwhile discussions.  I do not think this should be in an art gallery and I don't think this would be famous at all if the artist did not already have a following.  I could do this

    Just looking at it, I would not consider it a piece of art. But I think if there were some kind of writing or someone personally explaining what is the meaning behind the piece, I will consider it as art because I think for me the most important qualification for art is the meaning behind it.

    This is not an art for me. The piece need have some meaning in order to be defined as art
    • Joseph Stack > Cong Han March 9, 2011 at 1:35pm
      interesting. Why's that?
