To tell you the truth, i am rather perplexed by the concept of 'art'. what one person considers to be 'art' is often not 'art' to another. 'beautiful' and 'ugly' are old-fashioned concepts that are seldom applied these days; perhaps justifiably, who knows? something repulsive, which gives you a moral hangover, and hurts your ears or eyes, may well be art. only 'kitsch' is not art - we're all agreed about that. indeed, but what is 'kitsch'? if only i knew!
