Agree. Calling something art or not is pretty meaningless.

You are such a rube....you are not even a little embarrassed by how badly you suck as a human being?
That's Sad.

I hope you drink yourself into the grave. We are done.

Cypress has already resolved this issue. It's not art. He took some courses and none of his professors mentioned it, so clearly it isn't art and this discussion is over.
There's no longer any debate. We are so beyond that. Now it's just a question of when Tom of Finland's work will pass the tipping point and become catastrophic. In fact, it might already be too late.
It just occurred to me, maybe Cypress can find a way to sequester Tom of Finland's work from the environment into an Aesthetic Change Ground Zero.

It's code. IIRC, Iota Beta Psi is a lesbian sorority in California. Did IBDaMann have two mommies? Is this the symbol he saw flashing over his crib?
Nobody said some drawings and cartoons of Village People-caricatures couldn't be called art - of some kind.
It's not considered great or powerful art, and I guarantee you that no garden variety undergraduate art history survey course at an accredited American university is including Tom of Finland's cartoons in their lectures.
There's no reason anyone on this thread should have heard of Tom of Finland, unless they were actively seeking out obscure pop art in a corner of the gay subculture.

Agreed. IMO, art is like United States Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart's description of obscenity: "I know it when I see it". In short, it's totally subjective.
Anything created by man can be art. IMO, a Colt Peacemaker is a work of art.

He's not. Why are you angry at straight people, Perry? Still pissed about being in the closet all those years? How old were you when you freed yourself from your own prison?

More diagnoses from the forum's failed psychotherapist. Go back to junior college, homophobe.
Some sock puppet on this thread was doing a victory dance by claiming they were more knowledgeable about art because they were familiar with the cartoons of Finland Tom.
That's no victory dance even warranted. These cartoons are never discussed in typical college level art history survey courses.
They just aren't that good.
Or that important.
There is no reason college graduates are supposed to have heard of the drawings and sketches of Finland Tom

I won't fault Perry for being gender-confused or even homosexual.
I will fault him for lacking to courage to be direct and get out of the closet. He's hiding behind socks on an anonymous account, yet he is still too much of a chickenshit to come clean about his sexuality.
I'm not going to begrudge someone for being titillated by Village People-caricature homoerotic cartoons.
I am going to question why they did a victory dance in claiming familiarity with Finland Tom entitles them to an award of superior art knowledge.

Either Perry's fear of being outed is driving him nuts or he's both gay and nuts. Regardless, his behavior is often irrational.

I'm not a psychotherapist, Perry. I have no desire to help you or cure you. I'm simply curious about Abbie Normals like an Entomologist is curious about bugs.
People who use sock puppets and lie about it are lacking integrity, sanity, or both.
The thing that I find hilarious is claiming a superiority of art knowledge because they have been admiring the obscure homoerotic cartoons of Finland Tom

Both, but I think the lack of sanity is the driver in the lack of integrity. He clearly lives in a world of fear; he's jealous, he's afraid of his gender being revealed, he's afraid of looking stupid, etc, etc. IMO, that's irrational behavior.
Most people have fears and concerns. When I was a 4 year old child, I was afraid of dogs and spiders. I soon learned to love dogs but it took a few years for me to lose my fear of spiders. Now I respect them, but not fear them. The path to eliminating arachnophobia was to study them.
In Texas a very common spider is the Wolf spider. These little fuckers are all over the place. 30 years ago I'd be running around with spider spray or a fly swatter. Now I leave them alone because I know they are useful.
Scientia potentia est.

The Wolf Spider: What You Need To Know If You See One
Humans seem to have arachnophobia by nature.
I don't know why.
I e eventually go to the point I would capture them and release them outside if they were in my house.
Black widows still spook me.
