Today our discussion about DaDa artists continued. The main point of interest regarding them seems to be whether or not their work is considered art. Undoubtedly, there will be people that will be unable to think of a urinal as art. The idea of de-contextualization is just not enough for some people to accept certain art pieces.
My view is kind of moderate. I believe de-contextualization by itself is not enough, however, in conjunction with a specific idea that the artist wants to express and the ability to create a visually attracting and entertaining image or structure, then art is created. Aside from satirical/social commentary, I believe art (especially in multiple mediums) should be designed to entertain, either visually or conceptually. Granted, its impossible to please everyone, but if a slight majority is reached then so is the art.
