      The purpose of the art style is convey feeling without objective realism. Most people have the capacity to feel, and even the most basic of things like a color can provoke a feeling, but when presented a piece of art, their childlike wonder typically is set aside for logical analysis.
      The cruel irony of artwork like this is that it relies on one to only look, with no criticism of art itself. No technique, no interpretation of meaning, only to look and reflect on yourself.
      But people typically would only do that if they weren't critically analyzing art in an art gallery.

    when my kid was 4 months old, she grabbed a pencil and she "drew" a line on a piece of paper. Then, to make my wife laugh, I start bullsh*tting about how that was a masterpiece and that what it seemed just like a crooked line actually had a lot of meaning. Now...when this video started with "the square is off center to give movement", the hair in the paint, the paintings under the painting, etc. it sounded 100% the style of what I said about my daughter's "painting". For example I remember saying stuff like "the line is going down and it could be interpreted like life will bring suffering but, since it's drawn on a free paper, you can just rotate and it will go up. This doesn't change the line (the events in your life) but changes how you see it because even the same events can be seen from completely different perspective and give you happiness or sadness, depending on how you're gonna interpret it"

And my paintstrokes are also visible, my hair, my fingerprints, my sweat, even my blood when i painted so long my hands blistered.

    Before the invention of the photograph, art had the sole responsibility for recording the visual human experience for later reference. Photography freed painting and sculpture from what was both a heavy burden and an immense responsibility. According to my high school art teacher, art is currently trying to answer the question "What is Art?" I would rephrase this question as: "What can we get art experts (including artists and critics) to agree constitutes Art?"
    It is a boring question equivalent to "If I paid a lawyer to stand in a court room and argue about what falls into the definition of 'Cat,' what plausible arguments could the lawyer come up with that other like-minded lawyers would agree with?" The word "Cat" in the previous sentence can be replaced with a variety of nouns such as "car," "furniture," "chicken," "boat," "vegetable," and even concepts like "sports" or "art." If the opinions of non-lawyers are dismissed because "they aren't lawyers," why would the lawyer-approved, stretched-out and distorted definition of the word "Cat" even be valid?
    Similarly, when artists are pushing the limits on what can be considered "Art," why is the resulting stretched-out definition of "Art" valid, especially if the only opinions considered are those of art experts themselves? This is the frustration I feel as an art consumer walking through displays of modern art that look to me like a plumber was having a bad day. These are the rooms at an art museum where people don't linger.
    In a parallel universe, Fine Art could be defined by the following: "the best fine art is the art that can be wildly marked up and sold on a cruise ship." This would mean that the Fine Art is defined as art that best connects emotionally and is accessible intellectually to the general public. In the actual real world, this definition of Fine Art would really pi** off art critics, but why is would such a radical definition of Fine Art be invalid? Originally, art was about recording images to be shared with the general public for informational purposes and not an inward emotional exploration among a tight circle of art experts.

    • @Joshua-dc4un

      @JMRCUSP I'm glad you enjoyed my comment. Thank you for enlightening me about art history and photography. I'm a lawyer and casual art consumer and not anyone super knowledgeable about art. BTW, if I was arguing for the most expansive definition possible of the word "Cat" that I thought I might get away with, I would have argued that any animal with a nose and whiskers should be considered a cat. "Hello Kitty" is unambiguous considered a cat based on its nose, whiskers, face shape, and ears. The ears and the face shape should be disregarded in my definition. Hello Kitty's ears are just undefined nubs, and cats' faces aren't actually round. Thus, the whiskers and the nose make the cat. The expansiveness of the definition comes into play because most mammals (including all non-human primates) have whiskers. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whiskers. All mammals I am aware of have noses.

      "Sole responsability for recording the visual experience"? Oh, no. That's a complete misunderstanding of art and art history, or of human history and even just common sense. That was not the only intended or unintended function of art. And other forms of expression have always been able to represent visual imagery for posterity. Just think about it. Even if a person says "I once saw a cow. It was big and blue with Hugo square eyes", and somebody hears that and tells it to their children, who by themselves tell it to their own children. There you go, visual registry of a cow for posterity.

      @@Dheeraj5373 Words describe things. That is the whole point. If you want to expand the word "art" to include everything, then you are very, very simply not using the word correctly. That's it. It's linguistics. It's not hard to understand. I can't just DECIDE one day that "the word elephant means cup!", that's not how languages work. So no, everything is NOT art, art has a SPECIFIC definition that you do not get to change on a whim.

      Take any sort of art class and you'll see only the snob artists and art critics tell you how you should feel when you look at art. If you see it as something beautiful then congrats it looks beautiful in your eyes and thats what the artist accomplished. But if the artist was trying to show you ugliness and you saw only beauty, its not good art
