Maybe:) I dont know. But seashells looks beautiful.
Why? I have no idea.
The concept of art is huge!
Some likes it. Some dont.

A lump of rocks or ancient art?

A lump of rocks or ancient art?

Thats real art.
The stones are from Wales many miles from Stonehenge.
They did it 4000 years ago.
It's not a lump of rocks.

Ancient? I Think this art is beyond time.

Not only perception is needed.
You have to learn about art so it makes sense.
Like we are doing right now:)
Art is a very important part of our lives.

Another thread has established that Thor is the designer.
Hail Thor

Stonehenge was constructed out of lumps of rock, and when assembled together formed a circle that had religious significance and was connected with the Druids. I would not class it as art, although some may say that in its heyday it was aesthetically pleasing. It is of historical significance and is a World Heritage site.

The Birth of Venus is an 1486 painting by Botticelli, and is most definitely art. It depicts the goddess Venus, having emerged from the sea as an adult woman, arriving at the sea-shore, hence the shell.

I think you are alone with your opinion:)

Stonehenge has become a symbol of British culture and history, owing to its distinctiveness and its long history of being portrayed in art, literature and advertising campaigns, as well as modern media formats, such as television, film and computer games.

Art is a subsection of Cultur.

btw I wonder why Botticelli called it The Birth of Venus (Italian: Nascita di Venere).
It actually depicts Aphrodite arriving at Cyprus from the Greek mythology

A rock (Carrara marble) or Art?
David is a masterpiece of Renaissance sculpture created between 1501 and 1504, by Italian artist Michelangelo.

Piles of rocks or Art?

The pyramid in the middle consists of an estimated 2.3 million block of rocks.

Pile of rocks.

Now if they redid the outer limestone layer, that might be art.

Well Erosion and several thousands years...

Ye gods, you are as picky as that Dutch bloke!!!

I think you are alone with your opinion:)

Swedish/English translation "I don't happen to agree with you".

Stonehenge has become a feature of "popular culture" i.e. advertising campaigns and cartoons. Any manmade structure can be labelled artistic, without necessarily being classed as art.

The pyramids are not made of "piles of rock" as you term it. The interior blocks are fairly roughly cut and hewn blocks, the casing stones, what are left of them, were finely worked.

You are wrong about Botticelli's painting. It has two titles because it represents two mythologies. Aphrodite is the Greek Goddess of love, beauty and fertility,and in that aspect it is called "Aphrodite arriving at Cyprus". Venus was the Roman Goddess of love, beauty, and fertility, so it is also called "The Birth of Venus". It was commissioned by the Medici family of Florence, specifically Lorenzo di Pierfrancesco de' Medici under the influence of his cousin Lorenzo de' Medici, close friend to Botticelli.

The original post here portrayed a simple unworked lump of rock transported from A to B to form a conversation piece. I think some here are losing the plot a bit.

It seems you know about the Roman and Greece mythology:)
Venus and Aphrodite are the same goddesses.
But Cyprus is a Greek Island that the Romans later occupied...

The painting is called 'Nascita di Venere'. Not 'Afrodite arrivare a Cipro'

Firing on all 6 cylinders Jeff :-)))

Right flexes muscles ....

The casing stones of the pyramids are white Tura stone, not limestone. The beautiful outer stones were very popular and were removed from the pyramids bit by bit and used as building material for mosques and houses in Cairo.

From Wikipedia
"The Great Pyramid was surfaced by white "casing stones" – slant-faced, but flat-topped, blocks of highly polished white limestone."
In the old days it looked like this.

Ooh, a right tete-a-tete. Go get 'em Janne :-)

Myself I'd class the pyramids (and the Sydney Opera House or any other building) as architecture, not art. :-)

Cheers.

Yet another one.
Architecture IS ART.
Architects are artist. They are educated in KTH in our country.
Astrophysicist Max Tegmark who works at MIT is a student from KTH.
My school:)
KTH motto is Science and Art

and produce aesthetic designs.

Which is an art form in itself.
