artists


I remember reading a newspaper, long time ago, in it an article about an exhibition of paintings.
If I remember it well, somewhere in Germany.
The article said something like: "a positive view of the crowd about the art"
Experts there also.
The art described by them as natural, expressive, artful etcetera.
But the exhibition pointed out to be an experiment, or a work of art itself.
It was meant to see if people could recognize paintings made by elefants.
They could not.
Elefants can be artists, as long as you feed them.
