I think art, depending on the theory you agree with, is simply an expression of emotion (not necessarily what the artist felt at the time); it's a statement or an emotion displayed to an audience. For example, an artist can paint an abstract, aggressive painting that looks like chaos and disorder, but we don't believe the artist felt that way at the time, we feel they are trying to create an image or emotion through their work. In addition, Andy Warhol may have been presenting an emotion, but most feel he was trying to 'make a statement' and worked towards the creation of post-modern art.
The definition and evaluation of art are based on the individual, and so long as society and its mindset continues to change, so will the ideas and feelings toward art change.
I think pictures exist in some sense to raise questions, but I don't necessarily believe that is the foundation for an artist to make an artifact.
Any other opinions?
