DOES ART HAVE ITS LIMITS AND BOUNDARIES?
Subjectively, art has no limits and boundaries because the limits are not arbitrarily drawn.
But, it may have for some and doesn’t have for few. According to Enzo Robert, if art has
boundaries and limits, possibly most of the artists won’t follow and recognize it. It is also
possible that they twist those limits, for their own sake and purpose. They depend heavily on
context, objective, and moral principles, all of which are constantly shifting. Perhaps, the sole
limit of art is humanity itself, which in the long run will decide the ideas, techniques, and types
of art are to stay and be appreciated by future generations.
For example, the use of religion as their medium is prohibited if it includes nudity but in
one sense, a nude is a work of fine art that has as its primary subject the unclothed human body,
forming a subject genre of art. Examples of nude art, is the sculptures of Michaelangelo, and the
paintings of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres.
Also, the use of blood as the medium is also considered as vice but for the artists it is
considered art. Furthermore, recently Richard Gomez and art enthusiast drew flak for one of his
works, titled “OOOOHH,” which depicts yellow male genitalia on a black background. Netizens
branded the artwork as crude, but were more surprised with the painting’s almost P200,000 price
tag. The 48"x48" painting was created using black and yellow acrylic paint on wood. Gomez
downplayed the criticism on his artwork, and explained the meaning behind the work. He said
that the artwork is “Self-explanatory. Given a deeper thought, it shows lust, self-pleasure and
power.”
As a conclusion, Arts do have a limit if one’s self-set it. The limits of art primarily
depend on a person or humanity but it has no certain limit or stated limit that is known by all.
