As abstract as you can stomach

I think what's relevant here is the field of "Fine Art."
We all agree on something! I am a printmaker and (obviously) love it.
Architecture is first and foremost art. For example, the word for it in German is "Baukunst," or "build-art."

Go printmaking! Bringing people together since...um...today.
Sorry, I'll leave this highly intellectual debate now. Have a nice day.

WOO! feel the love! this made my day somewhat brighter.
architecture is totally an artform. this is why the college i'm in had a famous architect design our building. (DAAP/Aronoff building by Peter Eisenman.) the way i look at it, architecture is large scale sculpture that happens to be functional. there's a lot of different aesthetics that go into making buildings interesting, so i would say it's funcional art, but it's still an art. typography is on the same level. graphic designers wouldn't appreciate it being called otherwise.
it's very odd at the college i go to, designers can take our art studios, but we can't take their design studios. i really wish i could get into a typography class, but the only ones i could get into are in the summer and summer classes tend to be not that good for other programs, supposedly. (art summer classes are easier because they tend to be taught by grad students vs. professors and it's summer and people don't care as much.)

When it comes to abstract, I tend to like it. I am not one of those people who try to put meaning into abstracts, but i do find them nice to look at. I draw abstracts. I do not claim to know anything about art, but I do know what I like.
I did find it odd that I saw an abstract painting in the landscape section of the special art exhibit I went to last year... then again the choices were between landscape, still life, and portrait. I guess it fit in with landscape better than the other two.

there's a famous piece featurin a white box painted on a white canvas, called sublime.
As a literary commentary it's completely accurate. It's the unseen technique.
