Let's not bring "God" into this. It's messy enough as it is.
Whales might -- we have no idea of their intelligence. But otherwise 'sound' and the concept of 'sound' is a purely linguistic construct of humans to help describe the act of interpretating some of the energy waves that impact their bodies. If there are no humans, there are no sounds.
Ahhhh...yes, and also gone will be words...so no one to sound off. Just the vibrations from trees falling in the woods, waves crashing onto shores, etc..
I agree with you. Similarly, art is like sound. If no one sees the photograph, then there's no art. All you have is a picture, which makes the producer a photographer, not an artist.
Words are the art of sound.
More the art of the mind...which the Greeks found superior to the arts of the hand.
I wonder, would the Greeks (ancient, not @nikos79) have considered an Arbus photo art of the hand or of the mind?
Plato probably not unless it transcended the reality to reveal the hidden truth behind.
Would photographs be allowed in the Republic?
It's ironic how much of this allegory still applies in modern times as we voluntarily enslave ourselves to social media and the acquisition of things:
More the art of the mind...which the Greeks found superior to the arts of the hand.
Poetry is the art of prose.
Only the one in L.A. But as far as drawing criticism, the L.A. show is accompanied by a 500-page book of collected articles and criticism of Arbus' work. From Sontag to ardent supporters, an interesting read on contemporary and more current reactions to her post-mortem exhibitions and books.I’m back from my NYC trip and I have to report that I passed on the Arbus show. There was just too much competition from other shows and she didn’t make the cut. Maybe next time. Has anyone here walked the Arbus show yet?
There was a young man from Kent
That carried his kit as he went
Making art as he strode
Along every road
Growling, "This 8x10 makes me most bent"
- A love sonnet by Chuck Of Roast
THAT is poetry and arte' at the highest level...
