hmmm you are talking to someone with an intrinsic knowledge of art here boyo.....trust me on that...damien hurst...i was going to exclusive gallery openings BEFORE he was big....

im not saying that geshia is not a work of art
or that the art of the geshia is not AN art...

but is the geshia herself an ARTIST??

no...she does not CREATE anything....

and there is a BIG deifference between something that is AN art...and ART

you can say:
the art of conversation...so is everybody who can talk therefore an artist?

meh...no they are not.

with regards to geshia it is a grey zone....but again is it not more the Female companionship...and the Status symbol of the geisha that apeals to MEN?

geshia's are expensive..and look pretty...just like jewlery....

is the gold bracelet the artist...or the artisan who made it the artist...

the geshia are like objects....moulded by the "mother"...

so perhaps one could say the "mother" is the artist...and the Miko's and servant girls are but blank canvases


hmmmm yes an upside down skateboard could be art...and....so can an upright skateboard...and what about a skateboard that is not even there in the first place??

im a big fan of instelation art

art is about the message...

and if geshia is compared to renaisance art....would hostess bar be modern art???
