Now that's better - Christ, you don't have to make it seem like pulling teeth.
So does it have to be done in paint then ?
Can a photo be art ? - a photo of garbage ?
Then why not the real thing ?
I get where you're coming from ( I think).
You expect an effort to be made and skill in execution.
But you do realize that painting - that all Van Goghs paintings were ridiculed as "not art" and "not painting" back when they were done (by the "rest of Arles, and Paris" - sorry, couldn't resist).
It's a complicated mess to be sure.
I believe I spend too much time thinking about it all I confess.
But it's more productive and rewarding than arguing about politics.
I believe.
