ART IS NOT DEFINED BY ITS MODE OF CONSUMPTION

ART THEORY / CINEMA / PAINTING / ESSAYS

People who claim that an art form is defined by its consumption method continue to amaze (aggravate?) me.

According to them, next time you buy a painting to hang on your wall, remember that outside the museum, it won’t be a piece of art anymore.

In your home, it’s just a decoration element. And a feature film on Netflix is just a video.
