Fine art?
What is fine art? Is this it? What is art? What is fine about fine art?
I'll stake my position... I don't know what it is.
I don't think that it matters what it is.
Is it about classicism? References to classic art forms perhaps. Does it have to relate to classic art forms such as painting, sculpture and so on? No, otherwise photography wouldn't be included. Mind you, I'm making some assumptions here. But hey, I'm the one doing the defining. Yes, this is fine art. Simply because i say that it is. But, if it is about collecting, and desirability, then that's nothing to do with me.
Is it about an attitude to visual art? A personal attitude? A 'museum attitude'?
Context.
This photograph in a staircase sales brochure... in an office promo... as a 3ft x 4ft print in an architects reception area... in the Photographers' Gallery... on the cover of a CD...
Have a think.
