Starfire said:1. Is art too elitist?
Absolutely! - Typically Art tends to depict imagery taken from History or Topical and not everyday life, focusing it specifically on an audiance that will appreciate it and not the average man in the street. Critics too think they are Artists although without the skills.
What is the definition of an Artist?
2. What is the best exhibition you have seen?
Childrens Art at a local kindergarden. Fantastic !!
3. What is your favourite room in your favourite gallery?
I don't have a favorite gallery and therefore no favorite room
4. Which artist do you think is grossly overrated?
Pretty much most of them, philistine that I am. I think all Artists produce once in their life a masterpiece, something that is spontaneous and uncontrived. I think they then try to recapture that over and over and fail
5. Which one art work would you like to have hanging/standing in your house?
Honestly None, well (Apart from the piece which Ari did for me which is personal and special) In terms of Sculptures, I love ethnic wood carvings from those unknown people who will never be associated with their work.
6. What do you dislike about galleries? Pretention
That'll do for now ...
Indeed it will

I don't think art itself is elitist. The "art world" certainly can be however. I think there is art out there for everyone - depending on what your tastes are and what you consider art. That's the beauty of it.
Art critics have a different agenda. I don't think you have to have been an artist to be an effective critic. It could be that they are worth listening to precisely because they exist outside the "fishbowl" that we artists exist in. They can be objective because they don't participate in the same way.
2. What is the best exhibition you have seen?
I have to pick just one? I don't know if I can do that!
3. What is your favourite room in your favourite gallery?
At this point, not having seen all of the big museums, I would have to say that I really enjoyed the room of modern paintings at the LA County Museum of Art. I enjoyed seeing which movie star had donated which artwork.
4. Which artist do you think is grossly overrated?
That's making me think too hard this afternoon. Actually, I know most people really like Renoir and he's not one of my faves, but "overrated" - I don't know.
5. Which one art work would you like to have hanging/standing in your house?
The first one that comes to mind is Van Gogh's painting of crows over a cornfield. But, really, just ONE! That's hard.
6. What do you dislike about galleries?
You can't touch the work! Some pieces just Beg to be touched.
That'll do for now ...
I gues sit would be one of Cézanne's paintings of

I was a graphic artist for awhile, and really got burned out on creating what others wanted. As I now get back into non-computer generated art, that work will simply speak to me... though of course I hope others like it.ariosto said:
