In the last 5 years I have come to appreciate abstract art a lot more.
Painting something realistically isn't so much art in my eyes anymore, but rather a craft.
Read my new blog and please tell me what you think.

Sure, in short: I think (visual) art is distinguished by the artist showing a different perspective on reality or a concept, as opposed to a craftsman drawing something hyper realistic.
Every adult human knows what a human looks like from a human perspective.
Abstract art can show the human from a *different* perspective, it has the ability to communicate things that would otherwise not be possible.
A craft on the other hand is the ability to recreate what everyone else already knows and sees in daily life.
I should note by saying this that I don't mean a craft is less work than art or less respectable, but I do divide the two by this criterium.
