Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, right?
From time to time as I drive through the communities of Edmonton that I do business in, I see that special yard… The one where they've made an artistic addition, a real statement. Lawn orbs and gnomes don't count.
Art is highly subjective. For example, one of the exhibits at the New York Muesum of Modern right now is crap on a piece of paper. No really it's some form of perserved do-do on a blank piece of paper.
So do you love modern art or are you a little more like me? To me art – like the statue in the front yard of a home in West Edmonton -should make you think, and should have required some skill to create. If not then its just lawn trash. This statue may not quench everyone's thirsts or tastes, and it may be distracting if you were trying to sell the property. But it if beauty really is in the eye of the beholder I wonder what the neighbours that drive by this art everyday think?
I for one applaud their art. If you've seen some Edmonton lawn art or trash send it in for the photo of the week.
