Art or Horror?

[hellison]

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 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.

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