What is art to one my be pornography to another

In every aspect of life and art, critics always present themselves. Art is not just a matter of taste; it is a matter of opinion. Every individuals opinion differs from art piece to art piece. On extremely erotic image to one may be pornography to another. Due to the fact nudity has been art since the beginning of time it may be hard to determine if the image or statue is art. Each person is entitled to an opinion for what art is.
Throughout the past weeks I have provided evidence from artist and critics alike showing examples of from each side. Some believe art, good art, is determined by experts in the art field. Art, however, is determined to be art by the individual looking upon it. There is really no way to determine the line between erotic art and what can be considered “soft core pornography”
Across the world people look at images in different ways. Advertisements are a perfect example. Many commercials in which are banned from the U.S. are gladly shown in many European countries. However, there are plenty of musicians who are banned from Muslim countries due to the explicit nature of their shows and performances.
Art comes in an array of types. Paintings, photography, theater, and music are just a few. Art is not determined by the artist alone, but by the viewer. There are art shows across the nation which have been boycotted due to their erotic nature. But America gives everyone the right to freedom of expression. In possessing this freedom of expression artists have no limit to their creativity. Sex has been in art as long as art has been around. The way people except erotic art come in waves.
Many Americans would not appreciate sexual art the same way ancient Romans or Egyptians did. The one important thing to remember when speaking about art is no one board of people or one art dealer can decide if something is good art. People must remain open minded to the way others see things. If you close out the possibilities of what a piece of art might be, you close out possibilities of what it could mean to you. Look at art from every angle, it may not be intended as pornographic. However, some great art from the past is not art at all but pornography of its era. Never determine for another what the piece is, only determine for yourself.
