a work of art because the maker always intended it to be? We think of Michelangelo’s cartoons as works of art – he did not. Is anything human beings make a wok of art? they want you to believe ready-mades and mass manufacture and found objects are all works of art. Is a work of art unique to itself and self contained needing no outside connections in order to fully understand it? These are all contemporary assumptions which do away with beauty, skill, thought and intent.
Which means that everything is art so what do we determine to use as a definition?
There isn’t one.
Then there is no art.
