Well, I've sold a few pieces (not for megabucks). I also don't feel at all "snooty" about it, as it's been a long time, since I did any real art. I have had training, but I have family that has far more training than I. My wife is a very good photographer and watercolor artist. She is also more in touch with the structure of the art community, than I am (I went geek). It does, however, give me some insight into the community and mindset. > Enjoyment of visual art is entirely subjective, you like it or you don't, but it's still art. 100% agree. In my heyday[0], I was actually considering becoming a professional artist, but I knew that there are a ton of folks out there, that could blow me away, and didn't have programming to fall back on, so I went geek. I used to get sneered at a lot. Fantasy art isn't really considered "art." [0] http://littlegreenviper.com/art (I did these in the late 1980s. There's a bunch more, and I might end up putting more of them up there. My FB page has them. Feel free to judge whether or not I qualify as "artist." I couldn't do this again, right now. I'm out of practice). |
I was getting at the points I've quoted below [1] - it may not even be your opinion, you say "there are many that would argue", but in my opinion art does not need a story or any emotion to still be art.
Some amazing artworks are just people trying their best to create something that looks good.
[1] "But there are many that would argue that this isn't necessarily "art," as art is an interpretation of an emotional experience, as opposed to simple documentation.

Art is a story, not just a document, and that story includes many components, including the artist's own story." https://www.pablo-ruiz-picasso.net/work-117.php
