When I think of an 'artist' I don't think of someone who can make an accurate representation of something, I think of someone who can make a creative representation of something. I'm not sure if that's what the dictionary definition says, but, I mean, is just replicating an image really art?

I think Hitler's "art" says a lot about him. He's not exactly an outside-of-the-box painter. He pays high attention to detail - there are so many little intricacies in a lot of his paintings. I don't find a lot of them to have much feeling - they just are what they are------or rather, are what they are of - and that's it. . .

This is a cool thread. :pirate

This is the question that I don't really know the answer to. On the one hand, art must necessarily be representing something, otherwise it is just random noise. On the other hand, if all you are doing is making an imperfect copy of reality, then what value does that copy have other than to distract us from the more perfect and beautiful reality? Furthermore, is any art intrinsically beautiful or valuable, and if so how can we determine this?
