I don't think I'm going to come to any agreement, specifically, evenly, with anyone about what is art; it's always going to be something undefined. Art is left to interpretation. One person's yard art is another person's eyesore. One person's idea of art is obscenity to another. These are examples on the edges, of course. And what would Stein say? Perhaps..<br /><br />"The contemporary thing in art and literature is the thing which doesn't make enough difference to the people of that generation so that they can accept it or reject it." Gertrude Stein in "How Writing Is Written," Choate Literary Magazine (February 1935).<br /><br />How I put that in the context of the English department -- and moreover, university requirements -- may be another matter. -JenJenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05560779775066234365noreply@blogger.com
