What is Art?

I have just finished watching an exhibition at a museum in Budapest. It is called Ludwig Museum. BREAKING THE FRAME MAKING FUTURE – is the title of the exhibition. I really liked most of the pictures, sculptures and installations.

Contemporary artists created those stuff you can see there. In my opinion they are really talented. I couldn’t understand all of the art I saw, but I am glad I had the chance to be there.

Nowadays I don’t really go to museums and to be honest I have to change this habit! This visit felt so liberating, and made me so happy. Art is indeed an essential part of our lives, we should deal more with it.

I used to be a student in the faculty of arts, and we discussed the question, what is art? We didn’t use one exact definition for it, but everyone had a chance to tell their own opinion on the topic. Is everything art that we see in a museum? Is there art besides the stuff in museums? Who is supposed to decide on art?

I like to think that art is different for everybody. You decide. If it feels like art for you, then so it is.
