Renaissance Art During a time when all life in Europe was affected by the collapse of the Roman Empire and invasion of barbarian people‚ the Catholic Church managed to keep fine arts alive in the holiest of cities (Netzley). Before the time of the Renaissance‚ the Church focused their efforts on creating an unnatural essence that was Medieval art. This type of art appears abnormal to modern people‚ mostly because they had very little knowledge about human anatomy and mathematics (Brown). The figures

The Arts have always been involved in the world‚ but there has always been someone behind the scenes that censors what is shown. Lately‚ people believe that more is shown than necessary. It has seemed in the past that nude portraits have been acceptable‚ but now if that was shown in‚ say‚ a public school people would be offended. “No one has come up with a workable definition of art that can universally separate garbage like Karen Finley ’s body goo from Michelangelo ’s David.”(Shapiro) Art is truly

Degenerate art is the English translation of the German entartete Kunst‚ a term adopted by the Nazi regime in Germany to describe virtually all modern art.

A number of people have asked about the value of addressing aesthetics‚ the philosophy of art‚ or the definition of art. The reasoning is that if it is so difficult to define‚ it must therefor be ultimately subjective‚ and each person should just determine for herself what it is.
