...a work of Art, truly ART?
Is it the recognition by others?
The inherent beauty of it?
The skill required to create it?
...or simply You like it and it has some meaning or visual pleasurable sensation?
I propose: some of of the most ridiculously hideous works of art are only famous due to the bullshit the describes it's wonders and the gullibility of the masses that feed into the hype. Not unlike the manner in which media control the the masses as a means to stupify, which the masses willingly buy into no less.
Were I to stick a load of shit on a stick and call it : The World as We Know It. and I was already famous? It would sell as something bespeaking the troubled times of the youth and teen angst and the desire to return to the basics of existence....but a nobody would be shit out of luck.
Discuss, ignore, agree , disagree....no pennies for your thoughts. Inflation is a bitch..
