Is every painting art?
Yes, I believe every painting--from the Barberini ceiling to a Kiefer to a Kinkade or the Breck Girl--is art. Whether it's high art, important art, significant art, worthy art, noble art, or even aesthetic art is another question, which cannot be addressed without first determining whether the object before us can qualify to be called "art."
Yes, Cheerskep. Before you start typing, I did use the verboten verb, "is." And I meant it. And I might do it again ... just because I can! <g> And ditto with all those slithery terms, like "high," "important," "significant," etc.
