No examples to give. I just want to know if you have heard an interpretation of art, such as what a painting is meant to symbolize, which you think is mistaken. If it's a common interpetation you want to challenge, that's better.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

That a toilet, or condoms, step laddar, and other discarded junk could be considered art (as I read in our newspaper recently) and actually displayed in are local musuem for others to see. (With a do not sit on sign actually taped to the toilet) People get upset with seeing naked pictures/sculptures of men and women and get greatly offended by that. It's not porn, it's glorifying the body. Now if those to were in a "position" that showed or highlighted certain private parts of the body, or in an "act" that would be wrong. You have to draw the line of what is art and what isn't.
