I dont consider many things in museums to be art. If its just a life-like painting of a person or landscape I see it as craft. It took great handwork to produce these images but not thought. To me art is about the thought behind the painting, sculpture, film, etc. The reason artists dont tell you what the work means to them is that it would make the work pointless. Why express myself through film if people just want me to explain myself? I choose to create art because I'm no good at expressing what I feel with words.
Have you ever loved someone so much that no words could adequately express what you feel? I have, which is why I create art.
Also, what the artwork means to the artist isn't important. It's what it means to you.
Is it normal that I hate art?
