What is art?

Yesterday I had a pic removed that was of a car shaped to look like a penis. I have mentioned this car a few times. It was built on a TR3 chassis by Steven Hastings Paige in 1969. The rear of the car looked like a scrotum and the body, or shaft, had purple veins. The "nose" was interesting with the "one eye" being the radiator opening.

SHP is an obscure writer and artist whom I think dabbled in the rock band scene in Hollywood back in the days of the Whiskey a GoGo and Pandora's Box. I actually saw the Dickmobile as it was called, one night on Sunset Blvd. I got pretty excited (was probably drunk) and ran up to it while he was stopped in traffic. I was handed a poster/flyer that I have still to this day.

OK, that's the story as told here before at some point. Now the point is, what is art? If you saw the stage production of "Hair" in the same time period, you would know that it had nude performers and graphic choreography. Yes, it was performed inside, not on the street, so there is a difference. What was going on in that time was what is referred to as the sexual revolution. That was represented by the art of the day.

Fast forward through the decades of Hustler magazine, porn shops and the Internet, where do we stand? What is art and what is considered to be unacceptable porn?

BTW, I won't post a pic of the statue of David. Nor will I push the boundaries here with breasts behind a shear and wet piece of clothing with nipples standing "erect."

Even though there were some adults here at one time.
