Ah, so only you know if something is art? And if it is not art to you it is 
crap?

On the other hand I will give you an example of something I think was good art. 
In a waiting room was this rather banal looking painting of a small fishing 
town on a stormy day. As I sat there waiting my appointment I became more and 
more depressed. After a bit I realized it was the painting; the artist had 
caught the weather and rather run down state of the fishing village so well the 
sense of depression that you did not even notice in the first look transferred 
itself to you own mind. That is good art, where the artist can transfer his 
emotional state about the image to the viewer. I would not for the life of me 
have that painting in my living room however. I always sat with my back to the 
painting after that.
