    If we ever understood art, who would need us humans?
    We would go the way of the dodo to be replaced by perfect selfrepairing robots.

    There is Fine Art and Decorative Art. For me if it is fine art, it stirs me and intellectually engages me. I also have a tendency to delve into it more. Decorative art impresses me for a moment, without much time spent after the initial look.

    It's the expression of analytical thinking about our humanity.
    When I grow up, I want to be a photographer.

    Why not just post links to the many other threads dealing with this seemingly never-ending topic?

    Before you criticize someone, walk a mile in their shoes. That way when you do criticize them you'll be
    a mile away and you'll have their shoes.

    One good thing about forums is that if you have a problem contributing to the topic, you can just move on.

    Gee, Brian, why not say something useful if you're going to take the effort to post a complaint. Better yet, why don't you post a link? :-D

    Yous guys are all wrong---Art is a retired plumber. He's married to my wife's cousin Cheryl. I know this for a fact and I've got witnesses to prove it
