Is it because: since art is a form of expression, and acts are a form of expression, that then it can be concluded that acts = art? I don't agree. "Art" is a subcategory that falls under "Acts". All art is an act, but all acts are not art.

I am confused. It was just something I read to the effect that the Holocaust was so completely evil, and so perfectly evil-ly executed that it might be evil art. A half-baked notion perhaps, but something to think about. I don't know enough about art theory to debate "what is art."

Hi ARCADIA!

I hope I didn't give you the idea that I was refuting you personally. I just disagree with some ideas you've brought to the table for discussion, ideas that I fully understand you may not agree with either. I enjoyed considering and addressing these viewpoints. Thanks for mentioning them. I don't have any problems with you personally at all, and I hope you don't think that I do or have any problems with me.

Wishing you all the best,

Kellyliz
