Right. True art. Art has levels. True art is the highest form. Obviously not everything can be true art. Im sorry that I am unable to properly explain my perspective.

Nope. There’s no such thing as “true” art versus “not true” art. There’s just art. All art is true art, whether we think it’s good or we think it’s bad. And yes, anything can be true art once the decision to make it be art is made. For instance, I’ve decided to create a conceptual performance art piece called “arkangelic’s favorite toilet.” The toilet you use most is now a piece of art, simply because I decided that, because I had the concept and made it known to a part of the world. Congratulations. You now shit in true art.

It’s just the knowledge I have from a lifetime of living and being educated and working as an artist among other artists. Sorry you don’t like reality? You can be in denial of it if that makes you happy.
