Well done, Microsoft
I don't use MS Office much (I rarely write for print or do any office work), but I appreciate a good direction when I see one: Microsoft is making Office easier to use! Well done, Microsoft.
I intended no criticism of your definition, it is a very good one. Artists and people who work in arts and so many people who have time have argued over the definition of art and whether a particular object is art. It often ends in tears and one is no closer to the truth. Art Forums on the internet are a testament to this. Nevertheless your contribution will make us all think again about what we are doing.
Your homeland produced a most wonderful sculptor, Rudolph Tegner, a great favorite of mine. This website shows much of his work. http://www.tegnersvenner.dk/eftertid_d/data15.htm
Well, hey, even with the best effort, they were bound to inadvertently get something right one day or the other!
ReplyDeleteBut I guess I can forgive them this time. ;-)
I must agree with you both on Microsoft.
ReplyDeleteOn your Art definition-

Tears? Wow, this must be the art of hair splitting! Can't you just, you know, agree to disagree, without getting too upset?
Ah these artists, what sensitive types! ;-)
