A lot of classic art depicted the brokenness of the world. Saturn Devouring his Son, anything titled “The Rape of the…” etc. Art isn’t just about good thoughts and emotions, it’s about communicating any part of the human experience.

I do sometimes think it could be useful to categorize art into what kind of way it’s trying to communicate. Putting a urinal in a gallery space is very different from Jackson Pollock is very different from Michelangelo. But I actually get calling them all art even if some art I don’t like as much.
