What is Art?


This morning (at work, but don't tell anyone), I was following an online thread about what was art and what was not. The original question involved images from the Hubble Telescope of galaxies and solar systems many millions of light years away. Since the images were altered with color to emphasize the gases and stars, about one half of the people thought this represented "art" and the other half argued that the representations were merely scientific representations.
The above image is taken from a photograph taken a couple of years ago at Guilin, China. From a "normal" photograph I have utilized by significant photoshop skills :-)) to give it a purple sun and a very "artsy" look. Do you think that makes it art or not????

  1. Annie said this image looks like as if it was in "Harry Potter", just before Voldemort and his Death eaters are about to appear. The sky lookes so mystifying. I feel as if China is so close to the sun or heaven, or was it you who caused the global warming? Heehee...

    I love you!
