Marshal of Art

Art has purpose.

Whether to present a feeling or to describe... it will always stand for something. Thoughtless mishmash of beautiful yet meaningless images and color are in the end still thoughtless. It's my thing on "abstract art". Tell me what is abstract art, if your art has nothing behind it... it's trash. Not art. Even an elephant with a paintbrush can create a kind of art.

Trash art is in fact a kind of art. There was meaning behind it-- yes a description of what is 'trashy', or evolved from trash. So come on. Don't use 'abstract' as an excuse for art. Artists are allowed their own form of expression, always. However if you can't express yourself in a way that people understand (for example, the response is a cartoony HUH?!?) how is that art?
