If it is all 'art,' then why do we have this word?
Art is the artist's idea. No No: art is the COMMUNICATION of the artist's idea.
I am interested, mostly, I think, in a visual communication of this idea. I do not want to read my visual art. I do not want to hear my visual art. Well, I'll read and I'll listen, but I want to see something, too.
A boring image is bad art. Bad Art is boring: you can't even hate it. An attempt at communication but something isn't working. The composition is broken, faulty, loose.
The difference between decoration and art is decoration has nothing to say. It is purely functional. It isn't lesser; it just, isn't art.
How do you tell the difference between bad art and decoration? Maybe bad art is almost to the point of communication to be nagging, subtly annoying?
