What is art?

According to dictionaries, the correct explanation of the word art would be
”The expression or application of human creative skill and imagination, typically in a visual form such as painting or sculpture, producing works to be appreciated primarily for their beauty or emotional power.”

Art is, in short, the work where an artist experiences something and recreates their experience in any chosen medium to bestow an equal experience upon their peers.

What about the emotional part then?

”One central feature of aesthetic experiences is their ability to arouse emotions in perceivers. It feels natural to experience joy, pleasure shivers down the spine, awe in sight of grandiose artworks, or sometimes even negative emotions of fear, anger or disgust in front of visually challenging stimuli.”

Meaning, an artist can invoke an array of feelings in their audience.

So, why do such a large group of artists picks sexual arrousal by female as their main choice?

Because it’s incredibly easy to get a reaction. Because it is one of the simplest feelings to evoke.
Quite frankly, choosing that feeling specifically points towards the artist being talentless and lazy.

And when you point it out you hear them retort ”I’m not sexualizing females, you’re sexualizing females when you say that”.

The whole rhetoric is ignorant. It implies that the artist believes the viewer to be so stupid that they can’t tell what the artist had in mind when they made the art.

In art, sexualizing a body is posing the subject in such a way that the object of attention will be the subjects exposed physique and sexuality.

A picture of a naked tribes woman cleaning vegetables in a river is not inherently sexual. Her nakedness becomes a bi-product of her lifestyle, but the center of attention will fall on the task she’s preforming.

A picture of a naked woman, laying relaxed and natural on a bed, is not inherently sexual. It is the depiction of a creature, relaxing, without a care for anything else.
The object of attention will be drawn to the angle of her limbs, the lighting, or details of her hair falling over the pillows.

However, a picture of a naked tribes woman cleaning vegetables in a river, blushing while fighting to reach around her enormous breasts that dangle like two burstingly inflated crash cussions between her arms, is inherently sexual.
The object of the attention will become the breasts the woman is trying to wrestle, and her facial expression will inform the viewer of her embarassment of being exposed to their gaze.

A picture of a woman laying naked on a bed, interacting with and exposing herself towards the viewer, as if aware she is being watched, becomes sexual.

The sexualization also lays in the portraying of the physique. Handpick any person and I assure you they doesn’t look ”perfect”.
There will be things in their physique that doesn’t fit within the standardized beauty ideals of society.
Scars, fat, lack of muscle, hairgrowth, bent joints, spots, veins, zits, wrinkles.

When repeatedly choosing to paint a standardized physique based on the societal ideals of beauty and every time choosing to expose the physique in a way that , the sexualization begins.
It is an active choice made by the artist to cherry-pick what subject is worthy of becoming ”art”.

If you have the guts to tell me that you like creating ”art” I want to see your stillebens, I want to see your autumn mountains, I want to see your farmers having a candle lit dinner in winter.

I don’t want to see your picked and chosen female subjects that will give you thousands of likes because you’re feeding off of the societal situation.

Show me your actual skill, or I will assume you don’t have one.
