I get that.

My thinking is that art should be as diverse as the number of people making it.

I get that many folks here on FR are fairly conservative and enjoy a certain kind of art, which is fine,which is great, but to stand on moral mountain and condemn all art which does not fit neatly into their narrow view is silly.

I've looked at a some art and pronounced it to be trash, I've even gotten into those heated discussions with artists about their art and I came away with a couple of ideas. Art is many things but most of all it's expression, it should make the viewer/reader/listener feel something, even if it's disgust, if art doesn't move you in some way, that's when art fails.

We all have an opinion about Art, which is wonderful but perhaps we could all open our eyes just a little more and find out about the artist, try to understand their point of view, their issues and that might help explain the art they create.

Just my humble opinion.
