Let's see.

***"Needless to say, I DO believe in certain absolutes, that Chardin is great and Warchol trash,"
***A belief is subjective and excludes an absolute.

Do you KNOW or do you BELIEVE that a falling body will accelerate at 9.8m/ses*sec? If you have not measured it yourself, it this actually not a *belief*?

You are talking about purely a philosophical notion here, and I do not see any problem in my statement.


***I, too, enjoyed American Beauty,

Why specifically?

***hated Warhol's 8 hour trip on the Empire State but bow to it's provoking effect.

"Provoking effect" has nothing to do with art. One can provoke with mere trivial facts.

***Art need not be 'enjoyable'.

I think you are simpy using this word differently than I am.

I don't have time now for a "What is art?" discussion. Love the subject, though.
