The thing is ART is subjective and what one person regards as art another will not.Neither stance is wrong but it's the refusal to acknowledge the other's viewpoint that causes all the fuss.We are all individuals,why the hell should we all like the same things?
It's the same with music,films and writing.
Really all this hand wringing because someone loves grunge over dance music,another prefers the Pre-Raphaelites instead of Damien Hirst,Tolstoy to Harry Potter is plainly ridiculous.
I'm not a Hirst or Ennim fan but I'm not going to attack someone who thinks they are the bees knees..provided they lay off my fondness for the art of Monet or Laurence Alma Tadema of course.
Actually the people I think who need a good kicking are the 'critics' who set us at odds over art,drama,theatre,novels,poetry etc.
