Fursuits As Art

[lupestripe]

Can fursuits be considered art? Mere tapestries for the soul on a fluffy canvas? Or are they as artistic as which clothes we decide to wear?

I think some fur suits can be considered artistic, while others are more like prints....

That was well said!

On the other hand, when a painter finds a winning style, a lot of times they do a lot of work that's in a similar vein. Leading to that recognition factor of "That's a Picasso", or "That's a Warhol". So maybe that's what we're seeing when we recognise similarity in suits.

True, though considering Warhol's attitude to the production of art, its also pretty damning *grin* But yeah it shows the commerical side of the business, making the same style and the style that sells winning out over innovation and creativity.

The same thing could be said for alot of the popular artists on FA for example.
