Answer 2

Very Good question!Being an arts student, i faced the question myself.Newe, when a thing is of artistic significance and is artistically and aesthetically portrayed, thats art.pornography seeks to entice human beings by portraying $exuality in morbid details.Thats not the case with art.art has a higher purpose whereas porn is the depiction of the body for ONLY sexual gratification.

People who talk of porn being art, have to consider this that Hard porn which portrays fetish and bondage actually kills people in the process, whereas, this is not the case with art.Hard porn differs from the portrayal of naked models.Its cruel and disasterous with consequences ranging from infertility to death.Also sometimes porn is made without permission as in voyeurism.This is no imagination or aesthetics involved but just the moolah.Art is softer, milder, for stimulating the mind and for a higher purpose.This asthetic kind of art can be painting, movies etc. which even though involve sexual depiction, yet, aim towards a higher purpose>>>>that being aesthetic, moral or spiritual.

Eg. the painting of Aphrodite/Venus or David by Michelangelo is art but can u place porn in the same light and give it the same kind of respect and admiration?I dont think so.

Answer 3

There are several museums in America and across the world that are sex museums. Showing the most famous paintings, photos and movies in Pornography. The answer is that it is all art, actually everything is a part of art.

There are different levels of art. You can design a car, make a movie, create a painting, or write a poem. It is all a form of art.

You have to remember that first, we are not going to like all art and second that we are never going to agree on what is art as a whole. and second that each of us have our own ideas of what art is.

Answer 4

Here's how I see it:
Art might have nudity, but it represents humanity in a timeless sense. Naked people have always looked like they do now and always will look like that in the future. A major part of it is the intention of the person who created it. Art's purpose is to promote an emotional response in the viewer. Erotic art's purpose is obviously to promote an erotic response. Pornography's purpose is to satisfy the viewer's sexual urges. The difference between erotica and pornography in my mind is similar to the difference between a meal cooked by a gourmet chef and a frozen microwavable burrito. The gourmet meal will appeal to many senses and be satisfying on many levels. The frozen burrito will only satisfy a base instinct for a short duration.

Answer 5

Pornography's original definition was "art produced to arouse". Today's legal definition changes with each case. The US Supreme Court has acknowledged that some works of pornography may have artistic merit, but that artistic merit alone is not enough to necessarily protect it as free speech in the United States.

Answer 6

there is a very fine line between art and pornography...... The acid test, or so I was told when I asked the same question of my art teacher at school, is whether you would put it on the wall of your living room and let other people see it (if yes it is art, if not it is pornography)

Answer 7

Pornography is art. I see no difference. The models have to pose and the picture is taken, or they "act" in front of the camera, both are considered generally as "the arts"

Answer 8

They are inherently separate at the point of being made. The intention is different. Imploring the viewer into thinking more than "nice pu$$y, I'm horny"
Check out Jeff Koons work with his wife La Chiccolena.

Answer 9

I actually see pornography as an art form. Why not? It's beautiful and it's created by someone (a photographer, director, writer).

Answer 10

As far as I'm conserned there is no seperation. Naked people are naked people no matter what 'position' or time frame. I know a friend who's family put a painting of their naked grandmother on the wall (it was when she was young and one of the first pin-up models) I thought it was kinda gross to have that naked picture up. And by NO means was it art!
What do you say, hey that's my Grandma... like 50 years ago...
haha ... ick...

Answer 11

Viewing a piece of art satisfies, viewing pornography makes one unsatisfied :-)
