Specifically, what do you think makes great art great?
What artists or specific works are your favorites, and why?
What artistic movements are the most appealing to you?
Do you think art is more than a variety of entertainment?
What purposes should art serve?
I tend to like the literary arts most of all, but as far as non-literary arts I like dada, surrealist, and cubist movements. "View of Collioure" and Duchamp's "Nude Descending a Staircase" are among my most prized. To me, art is way more than "a variety of entertainment." Art can penetrate the veil and deliver to us truths inaccessible via ordinary reflection.
