Art Thief
- October 10th, 2006
Ok so here is the age old question, what is art? Who owns it? Why? They are complex questions on a wide scale and simple on a narrow one. It was suggested to me recently that I write an entry with this title, I was leaning towards “Love of a Cowboy”, but thought since this was someone who knew me well and had much love for me, well what the hell I’d give it a shot.
Stealing art, is it really possible? I mean does not art reside in the artist? I realize that in some art forms are tangible on the physical level, a painting, sculpture, or a play…but how does one really steal it? The vision of the piece seems to always sit with the artist or a person who collaborates with the artist to produce a commissioned work. When art fails to convey the intended meaning of its creation, it’s not stealing its righting the cosmos or in other words creating integrity, placing the work in a place it belongs. Art to me lives in truth just like love.
One Person had this to say...
Surely art of any kind loses its original meaning the moment it is viewed and interpreted by someone else. Maybe a multitude of meanings exist side by side. If this is so,then perhaps art in any medium is but a framework for collaboration, to be presented as a gift, not to be stolen but given for free.
The most emotive, complex but brilliantly crafted novel I ever read consisted of just 6 words.
