What is art?

[tchaika]

Interesting character - Mr. Mark Restellini. Founder and Director of the new private museum Pinakothek in Paris, art historian, art critic. I was at his conference and noticed his independence in his judgments. Among the questions he was asked, was this: "You seem not particularly interested in" modern art "(" art contemporain "). Why not? "
Answer: "Yes, of course, good artists. Sometimes I see something remarkable. But when I come to Fiac (Contemporary Art Fair in Paris), I have become discouraged by the level of works. All repeat: "This Fiac remarkable". And if you argue, you find a fool. For example, I am not interested in Jeff Koons (Jeff Koons). I tell you this frankly, and this is what many think, not daring to say. "
