[Dixielandjazz] One person and art

[Anton Crouch]

Hello Dan

You ask "What do you think about the following statement: only one person
can create art."

What were you drinking?   :-)

As Bill G points out, it's hard to find any common ground on a meaning for
"art" but let's look at some examples of group creation which most people
would class as art.

A large proportion of the output of the Hollywood studio system in the
1930s and 1940s - French auteur theory notwithstanding.

Mozart's Requiem, Puccini's Turandot and Mahler's 10th symphony.

Any performance of any music, involving more than one person.

All the best
Anton

does ** not drink - he has other vices".
