I see nothing about this picture that one could call "art".

It's a fucking picture of a typewriter.

    It's a painting of a typewriter.

    The message on it is a saying that it inspirational.

    There is a cursor on it, as well as apple buttons in the corner.

    Art.

    I think the point is the fact that it's a typewriter displaying the message "keep life simple."

    Ninja'd.

    art/ärt/Noun

    1.
    The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination,
    typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing
    works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.
    2. Works produced by such skill and imagination.

    Art is the product or process of deliberately arranging items (often with symbolic significance) in a way that influences and affects one or more of the senses, emotions, and intellect. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music, literature, film, photography, sculpture, and paintings. The meaning of art is explored in a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics, and even disciplines such as history and psychology analyze its relationship with humans and generations.


    Traditionally, the term art was used to refer to any skill or mastery. This conception changed during the Romantic period, when art came to be seen as "a special faculty of the human mind to be classified with religion and science".[1] Generally, art is made with the intention of stimulating thoughts and emotions.

    Absolutely anything can be art, and in my opinion that Daily Deviation is a great piece of art.

    It's a painting of a typewriter with three words on it.

    It's a painting of a fucking TYPERWRITER with three words on it.

    That's not art. It's pretentious bullshit wank.

    Pretentious: The whole thing reeks of "I know so much about art that I'm going to craft a nonsensical "painting" and fuck you if you don't get the point you low-class piece of shit".

    Bullshit: See above

    Wow. Considering TV Tropes' pages on "True Art", you'd think everyone would be agreeing with Chagen.
  • BeeBee
    I wouldn't call it evocative enough to be art for me, but at the very least, I respect the technical skill it takes to paint something as fussy and detailed as a frigging typewriter.

    You're confusing me and AHR.

    I wouldn't blame you some of the time, but still.
