Art: Is it just bollocks?

Yes, it bloody well is.


To make my point; if someone with bad teeth and worse hair can look at a green square and say, in all seriousness, "I like the way the artist has juxtaposed the background with the four dogs and the banana, don't you think?", then that makes it a load of bollocks.

More evidence for The Prosecution. On more than once occasion, people have rolled up at a gallery with a "piece of art", to have the arty types within pee themselves at its wonderousness, only to then bluster like an April lunchtime when it is revealed that it was created by a toddler with lots of crayons and not much supervision.

If, as it would appear, that everything is art, then does it even warrant its own word? I would argue that the term "Art" is of no value, since there are many other far more interesting words for "everything"; "things", "stuff" to name but two.

This does rather make Art students look foolish.
