Well, Mark, I disagree with ~you~. ;-) I will concede that perhaps intent of the creator is helpful in determining is something is art, however (as I think Godfrey said - and correct me if I'm wrong, Godfrey) sometimes the intent may not be explicit or understood by the artist him/herself. However, for me as viewer/experiencer, I may find a work to be completely "artless", regardless of what it's creator thinks... cheers, frank -- "Sharpness is a bourgeois concept." -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
