# in some ways, yes.
some art is made for aesthetic reasons, is it really important to justify which category it fits in?

edit: also it's sunday and this is a lot like being at work

# But art is for many different reasons and some of them
are about hanging something nice on your wall.

However, I realise I'm mostly devil's-advocating here since I'm more of a fan of more deeply conceptual art stuff. Wow, I'm pretentious.

# you appear to feel quite strongly about it, for a devil's advocate
i really don't care at all, i know nothing about art, apart from the cliched, i know what i like. For me, art is about being something to enjoy, or to provoke emotions.
photos and photoshop (amongst many other media) both do that for me
