RE: Contest: Art Commenting Contest
How come this is considered art if an adult does it but not if a toddler or someone with Alzheimer's disease expresses him/herself this way?
Because it was made by a so-called famous 'artist'? Here, the society recognizes Maurizio Cattelan as one. He has other artworks that made sense to me, but the banana is just too ridiculous.
The toddler and the person with Alzheimer’s might have been artists in their own right, but without society to back them, they are set aside and ignored.
The toddler and person with Alzheimer's might not care if they are called an artist. Perhaps there's a message, perhaps they are having just fun or try out the new colours.
Perhaps they are discovered and their work is getting famous just like the painting monkeys.
The banana was for sure a statement and the days of this type of art was counted.
Thanks for the talk. ♥️🍀
