Response to Sean

Sean argues that Dickie is wrong, and that artists should not have the power to determine whether their pieces are art or not.

I do not believe that this is true. I believe that while Dickie may give the rest of the world too much power, he is not giving artists too much power. If they like something their make and believe that it is art, why shouldn't it be? They have the title of "artist" for a reason, even if they are not famous, or first time artists. If you are to argue that artists should not determine whether they make something is art or not and leave it up to other people, then you are basically saying that art is subjective, and if someone doesn't like a piece then it is not art. This is not fair to the artist.

What do you guys think, though?
