You need to be there but it is always an artistic impression.
May set a trend.

Some artists really do think people are enthralled/amazed by their bohemian(?) thinking processes.

Another example that true art that used to communicate with what some would call "human essence" has been in decline for quite some time...

I think that one painting would have been enough, but he has managed to "stack" 100's of different hubble pics into a few paintings though. Chaos Theory on canvas?

Then there's this blank A4 piece of paper as art:
"Tom Friedman’s 1,000 Hours of Staring (1992-1997). . . He claims to have stared at a mass-produced, regular piece of 8.5”x11” white paper for one thousand hours over a five-year period, investing it—without even touching it, let alone handcrafting anything— with what he terms a “stare on paper.” Art reviewers were initially convinced the piece was a lie, since Friedman provided no proof that he had actually done what he said. In 2008, it was acquired by the drawings department at the Museum of Modern Art in New York."
The same guy also has a sculpture which is just a black plastic garbage bag filled with air and mounted on a white block!

Perhaps I should get my 2-year-old daughter to smear UV paint all over a canvas and then submit it as "art"?
It does look interesting, but I think holding an exhibition for it is a waste of space that could be used on something that actually has real meaning.
Maybe he took too many "happy pills" while he went on this "voyage".

It is art if you can sell crap for big bucks.

That may actually be true Alex.
Perhaps IIS should have a Art classified. Then anyone who can't sell an item in the Non-Astronomy classified can move it to Art and sell it as crap Or at least Mike can start a virtual Museum of Modern Art!

Speaking of priceless, well not quite. "Blue Poles" is currently worth (reputedly) around $350m, not a bad profit for a drop sheet considering it cost $1.3m in 1973.

Art is what you make of it which is what makes it so wonderfully indefinable .

Rather like the colours of it all but it does look like a work of mayhem rather than art. Put it this way, I wouldn't pay to hang it on my wall. And I don't see any 'cosmological' connection at all.

I painted my impression of enrgy flow in the universe on a small canvas and set it aside.
When I pulled it out years late I was horrified... Mould.. Then I thought why of course my universe now has life. Its worth millions of course.
