Modern Art

I think art should display some sort of skill or craft on behalf of the artist.

I feel you are mistaking forms of art for art itself.

Photography is not an art. Neither is painting, nor sculpture, literature or music. They are only different media for the individual to express his aesthetic feelings… You do not have to be a painter or a sculptor to be an artist. You may be a shoemaker. You may be creative as such. And, if so, you are a greater artist than the majority of the painters whose work is shown in the art galleries of today

Whereas Edward Hopper is god like.
