Well, art is much more than pictures and can't always be framed - like music, sculpture, architecture, litterature, poetry, dancing, movies, theatre, jewellery, computer art etc. etc.

"Art, needs to be in a frame. That way we know when the Art stops & the wall begins." -Frank Zappa <VBG> Kenneth Waller -----Original Message----- From: DagT <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: what makes a photograph art... The first two defines the opposite to what I see as art. The pleasing, boring things that are only aimed at telling us that everything is alright, and tries to distract us from the fact that there is more to life. The other two are closer, but they still don�t cover the art that starts a process, makes you realize something new, even making you change your mind. Then it has to be irritating, controversial, but not necessarily political.
