I read that gladiators were more like pro wrestlers and dying in the arena was actually rare.

They were fed high carb and fatty diets so they could have bloody fights and still survive.

No building can be art.

A car cannot be art.

For something to be classified as Art it can have only one purpose, to be a piece of Art.

Building has a use over being Art same with a car.

>>719800558
You can use any painting as a blanket, or a doormat. You can use a statuette as a paperweight. Anything can be used as anything and it doesn't detract from its artistic value.

>>719800558
Art is a diverse range of human activities in creating visual, auditory or performing artifacts (artworks), expressing the author's imaginative or technical skill, intended to be appreciated for their beauty or emotional power.

>>719800558
So then by definition art has no usefulness?

If art exists for the sake of existing, then is it art, or merely man's desire to dominate and create?

Why cannot something have beauty and purpose?

For instance, look up the audience headquarters in tokyo. Beautiful building, obviously artistic in conception and creation, yet not art by your standard?

Why must practicality and artistry be exclusive?

Hell, even math is an art, which I suppose means I agree with you, once you get past practical applications. But alas, I've opened more questions than I have closed.
