Art is a relationship between two (sometimes consenting) beings.

Art may speak to us, but still be beyond our understanding of why it  
does so.

There is sometimes great art in pranks or their big art sister,  
conceptual art.

I have to admit that many of the "great masters" whisper little to my  
heart.
