Art or Horror?

There has been some debate about this of late. What consitutes Art? And if one person's 'art' is another person's personification of personal nightmares where does that leave us?

So, examples, and a poll.

Young [livejournal.com profile] thipe created two... pictures. Have a look. Decide - fine art, or horror?

See, I'd always say that art is art no matter how uncomfortable it is to view.

However, I have now added a caveat to this belief 'except then Hoff/Shat is involved'.

Your last answer category was biased and so I ignored it.

Also what is a ThipeThesme?

Maybe that's in case we have a THESMETHIPEBABY

Unlikely, but still possible...

Yes, I think it is both art and horror.

Possibly an even more HORRIFIC concept than the 'art'...

I have been in the Tate Liverpool and both of those are far more artistic than anything I saw there.

Art can be horrific! I just thought it was rather splendid altogether.

Yes. But then you are a VERY BAD LADY who uses the M words gratuitously and without warning.

BAD LADY.

We could call it THIPME and train it to be an expert writer of SLASH
