a statement

What do I believe art is? If someone were to ask Anthony, "Anthony, what is art?" I wouldn't do a fine job of telling you; I could show you though. To me art evokes response, emotion, and thought. A broad definition I know, but I mean, what is art? It's subjective isn't it? It sure seems that way when one skims over the history of art in the public realm since the dawn of culture. Is it practical? Is it useful? Is it offensive? Is it just awful? Is it not art? Art is what I make of it. Out of the hum drum of everyday life, or out of the inner workings of my own mind. Art is in the mind. My Art and my concepts of art are mine alone.
