Because my conception of what defines Art is, is a painting, design, etcetera that is defined by purpose, virtue, and have a valuable state within culture.
Well I agree with your definition
I think that art is subjective per person. But to be considered good is another story. It takes talent, practice, study and time. I've seen modern art pieces that I dont particularly like, but they obviously have some level of talent (e.g. making their own paper and paint out of the soils of different parts of the earth, etc.) but that in itself does not mean they have value to a culture, as you said.
But I'd like to reiterate that true art does take time and patience and practice. It needs to be outstanding to some extent, in my opinion, something that is original and unique to the artist. I would even go as far to say that tracing existing art would make that traced piece not even a candidate for the definition of "art".
art is whatever one defines as art, really
I am art
It can vary from person to person I'd say
Humanity is art
Like
I know it's a joke
but
"Is hentai art?"
You can't really exclude it while including other pieces of art and maintain a fair, consistent definition of art
Art's a concept created by humans, it doesn't fit into a neat box
No better combination
Art is an individuals interpration of an individuals self expression
Through a creative medium
I'd say Erotica is art, nudity and sexuality can be displayed in a tasteful manner that isn't pornography
The point of hentai is to crank one out to anime tiddies you aren't sitting there going "gee willikers this artist really wanted me to examine the beauty of the female form"
disagreed.
Okay so what would you say instead?
i disagree
About what
what you wrote..
Why
I say nothing and lower my gaze like a humble muslim
@Doktor Goon i believe so?
Like just on principle or what
Is hentai art?
But what's the difference between hentai and non-erotic nudity in form?
It's all up to you taste - to your perception as the observer
So in the end, art is just entirely self-defined
Hentai is explicitly pornography
Mexico still uses the Roman Salute
So are any 18th century nude paintings
@Light There is a long standing artistic tradition in western civilization of the nude form including that of the young. The difference between beauty, innocence, and virginity (promise of future fertility) and sexuality (opportunity in the present for consumption) is not a difficult one to judge by triangulation with traditional works of art. If there is a question there is no question.
It's a long standing degenerate tradition
Not all tradition is good.
