Reply To: What is Art? What is Art History?

I completely agree. I don’t think art has to be beautiful or appealing at all. Personally, I think some of the best art is art that wouldn’t normally be considered ‘appealing’. I think that kind of art really makes people think and is for more interesting than just a pretty picture, although I like those too of course. That definition feels sort of basic and is excluding a large portion of art.
