Intetesting.

For me skill has nothing to do with it (within reason I guess), it may probably just produce better or worse art.

Impact, that's the same thing, I shouldn't have to care about how others perceive my art, should I?

So I guess for me the intentent is the thing, but it must be that, real intent. If my intent is to express my horrors over heroin dealers, I cant just paint a box in blue and then "explain" myself out of it.

Now if an ex heroin addict paints blue boxes because he lived in blue boxes for years, then that's probably a real expression though and thus art. And I bet he wouldn't feel the need to explain even if he can.

I'm not sure I'm very clear here, but intent it is I think, so hard to prove.
