You look beautiful, like a work of art.
Oh thank you.
Shall we talk about art?
Yes, lets talk about art or me and you were talking about both.
Do you like modern or traditional art?
Im not sure where youre drawing the distinction, but I suppose I prefer both for different reasons.
Modern art is more relatable to my life because im a modern person, but traditional art appeals to higher, more universal concepts, at least in my opinion.
Why do some people dislike art?
I doubt they dislike it in general.
I suppose they probably just like a specific form that isn't to their taste.
For example, biologically we're supposed to be attracted to symmetry and symmetrical vases, so artwork that's not like that might be a bit off putting.
What's art?
Well, that's not a difficult question at all, is it?
I suppose if I'm pushed then I would say that art is the attempt to capture or represent something that the artist finds engaging or beautiful.
So for example, the Mona Lisa is da Vinci's attempt to capture the moment with this woman and the mystery that surrounds it.
