Art is an expression of human experiences that elevates humanity. Anything less is just an expression. In the definition of the term art, it renders the concept an objective notion.
Art in the eye of the beholder is not the definitive determination of art, although an interpreter is required in the entire equation, the interpreter must adhere to the prime nature of the term. Art is a construct of man for man. A blade of grass is not art. An artistic depiction of that blade is. The wheel is a work of art, creative, progressive and symmetrically beautiful. The wheel indeed is an example of human elevation. A spider spins a symmetrically beautiful seemingly artistic web. This does not elevate a spider existence; this ability is innate in the construct of the spider, as in all web spinning spiders.
Though nearly all men are capable of artistic expression, not all expressions of humanity are elevating. A child molester who arranges a unique mosaic of child pornography into a photo album is not a form of art. One who excretes human waste in the center of a white canvas is not rendering a work of art. These are forms of human expression, not art. Albeit in the eye of the beholder, they do not elevate humanity.
An elaborate pyramid constructed for human sacrifices decorated in creative depictions of these barbaric events, does not qualify this structure as a work of art. The engineering is masterful and it qualifies as human excellence, but the content and of its purpose is abominable to humanity. It’s an expression of humanity, but in its totality it is not a work of art. It is a larger more complex version of the excrement on a white canvas. It is a perversion of art, subjective ness attempting to pervert the purity of an objective nature, art.
