      I’m not gonna eat a steak made from my mother’s flesh even if it is tasty.

      Also 90% of art is the backstory, that’s what makes the paint on the canvas art and not just pigments applied to fabric.

        Also 90%…

        Actually it depends on who’s looking at it.

        For most of us it’s all about the idea associated with the art. What it means, the backstory, the explanatory essay pinned to the wall next to the painting etc.

        For some of us (mostly artists) it’s all about the experience of the art itself.

        Because artists see differently from normal people.
