Thank heavens we have people like you to police who gets to be called an artist or not...
I instructed the Ford dealer to sell me a new Focus with leather interior and aluminum wheels. I am a car designer and manufacturer. I made this.
I'm not getting your point?
You're posting too much without reading, please come this way to the egress.
Yes you are
It's not a protected title. Go to town with it.
But it's diluting the value of it if you carry no talent but want all the recognition.
So the value of art is directly tied to talent in your opinion?
What's next, value of products being directly tied to their quality??
Tbf it’s more about their necessity than quality.
What're you defining 'value'? Monetary, sure but what of emotional value? What're you defining as 'quality'? What's high quality art to you? What's valuable in your view? I garuntee that's not the same for everyone.
Very true, since it's all relative no one should ever make an aesthetic judgement. No one should have thoughts about the value of art. No one should have any reaction to art other than an acknowledgement of its existence.
True J. Benzo Peterson vibes
What do you mean by VALUE? What do you mean by QUALITY? What do you mean by PRODUCTS?? What do you mean by WHAT???
No, the value of art is specific to each individual. A picture made by someone with no talent can be of enormous value to someone because of what it means, the relationship they have with the creator, the emotions it makes them feel etc.
Tieing value to talent suggests that a picture by someone who has trained for 5 years is somehow more 'valuable' than a picture by someone who has only trained for 4. Why? What metric is being used to determine 'value'? What metric determines 'talent'? Art is entirely subjective. To try and define it's value is missing the point, because it means something different to everyone.
@YungOnions
What do you mean value?
Emotional value? No. Many parents value their small child's drawings.
Market value? Mostly yes. Especially in commercial art like art commissioned for book covers. Untalented artists aren't going to be very successful.
Thank heavens we have people like you to police who gets to be called the police...
Your position seems to be that art is whatever the US Copyright Office deems worthy of copyright.
