By hand work,I mean what ever one individual does with his personal
skill
art- music,poetry,etc..
I'm not referring to machine made objects that are designed and
rigidly controlled by the designers.
And it's not the medium or concept approach that I'm concerned about.
that william refers to, i do both at times, but I have not placed a
Michael
Angelo upside down,and call it "my art " , not yet anyway.
Im referring to the fairness of those who do very realistic work without
any skill in the doing of it, and selling it "as their work' to
serious buyers
who lack awareness. In spanish we call it, Venta de "Gato por Liebre",,
selling a "cat for a hare".

If you require handwork to produce an object which you can then
call art,
then you are justified in your judgment inasmuch as your judgment is
confirmed by your culture. Handwork is not an attribute of all art-
music,
plays,
poetry - therefore it is not a universal attribute of art.I agree
with mando
about the computer generated sculpture but not that anything
machine made is
not art.
