Reach Out With Your Soul

To create art, one must pour their soul into their piece and ignore what other's think. To the artist, it is their pride and joy. Yet, to the consumer, they have to try and understand it to consider it art. It took many years for some paintings to even be classified as art. Nowadays, art seems to be junk tossed into one huge pile and put on display. To some, it's art. To me, that's crap. That wouldn't be worthy enough to be in the same building as the Mona Lisa. In a way, it is mocking the great works of the past with our "art" for this postmodern era. I don't think placing a crucifix in a cup and peeing on it is art. It's mocking God. With the change in worldviews, it's as if our effort for making art unique in and of itself has gone down the tubes.
