What is art? / Was ist Kunst | Questions from children / Fragen von Kindern | (English/German)
Hey dear Steemians, | Hallo liebe Steemianer, |
Today I had a interesting conversation with some of my children from work. It was all about this picture: | Heute hatte ich mit einigen Kindern auf der Arbeit eine interessante Unterhaltung. Es ging im Grunde um dieses Bild: |
(in english: "Hm ... better than nothing")
The question they had was: "Is this art?" | Die Frage die sie hatten, war: "Ist das Kunst?" |
First I thought that this is an easy question to answer, but as the conversation kept going I was pretty confused. So I thought it might be the best to search for some quotes and definitions online. | Zunächst dachte ich, das könnte ich ganz einfach beantworten, aber als die Unterhaltung fortschritt wurde ich zunehmend unentschlossener. Also dachte ich, es wäre wohl das beste im Internet nach Zitaten und Definitionen zu suchen. |
Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.
(Edgar Degas)
Art is the only serious thing in the world. And the artist is the only person who is never serious
(Oscar Wilde)
We have art in order not to die of the truth. (Friedrich Nietzsche)
Kunst ist schön, macht aber viel Arbeit (Karl Valentin)
Kunst hat die Aufgabe wachzuhalten, was für uns Menschen so von Bedeutung und notwendig ist.
(Michelangelo)
Kunst wäscht den Staub des Alltags von der Seele. (Pablo Picasso)
One thing is for sure. I'm not smarter after the research. | Eins steht mal fest. Ich bin nicht wirklich schlauer als vorher |
Now the question to you! What is art? | Nun bist du also gefragt! Was ist Kunst? |
Kunst liegt finde ich sehr im Auge des Betrachters!
Frei nach
würde ich sagen - Wer darin Kunst sieht, für den ist es Kunst.
Ich seh darin keine, drum ist es für mich auch keine :D
Zu einem ähnlichen Ergebnis "Jedem das seine", sind wir dann auch gekommen.
Am Ende habe ich für mich entschieden, dass es Kunst ist, alleine durch das ganze Gesprächspotential das daraus entstanden ist ;)
