Who are You ?

I dont understand how the western world sees it fit to define and characterize art on such a narrow scale. If the work isn't up to our standards or dont follow our norm its shunned. Seen as less than art. Dutton gives a list of characteristics that can help maximize the scope of what can be considered to be art. I think his opinion is a better choice rather than hold everything to the standard of fine art. This view adds an international interest.
