Charles Bukowski - American author
I'm sort of bringing this question from another forum of nut bags to what I think is a "sane" forum: you people!
It might be a dumb question, but what do you think of the term, fine art? Do you agree with the dictionary definition of the term, which is basically:
Painting, sculpture, music and poetry...
Art produced or intended for beauty and aesthetic purposes rather than utility or function.
Do any of you feel that fine art is an elitist term, or that the classification serves an agenda of some powers that be?Is it only the visual artists that could possibly have a bit of a problem with this terminology?
What's your take?
