Our own opinion and Question:
For example, the
famous artwork Fountain by Duchamp which is ugly and vulgar. However, it
challenged the traditional value of art. It raised a question that whether
everything can be art. Then, it becomes an ironic example to criticize the
conservative value of arts in 19 century. Can the Fountain be an artwork even
if it lack of attractive appearance but contains a message? On the other hand, the
luxurious golden toilet cannot be classified as an artwork. In spite of attractive
visual effect, it does not have any useful message. So, if the artwork
conveys significant or important messages but against the common standard of arts,
can that artwork still be claimed as Arts? Or Arts have to include a
message and attractive visual effect at the same time?
