Welcome to Litsy!

Meditations and musing on art. What makes something art? What makes art good? Where is the cutting edge? I enjoy Perry's irreverent, playful ponderings.

He does a lot of hedging his bets, but I do sometimes disagree when he expresses a solid opinion - e.g. that we've reached the end of the road when it comes to innovation & pushing boundaries, or the emphasis on art school as a way in.

(Something did upset me. See comments.)

Im kürzlich erschienen Buch „So geht Kunst“ stellt sich der britische Künstler Grayson Perry die Frage „Warum ist Kunst eigentlich Kunst?“. Er zieht dabei einen weiten Bogen über die Kunstgeschichte und seinem eignen Werdegang, zur Beantwortung der Frage.Komplette Rezension unter: https://moonysblog.wordpress.com/2017/06/18/so-geht-kunst-perry/ #Kunst #art #zeitgenoessischeKunst

I am currently reading the german translation "So geht Kunst". It's very interesting. #art #kunst #zeitgenoessischeKunst

Beautiful little book filled with jokes, cartoons, inspirational quotes and eye-opening thoughts on contemporary art, and what "good art" really means.

"But it's important to make art because perhaps the people who get the most out of art are the ones who make it."
