Understanding art - Banksy


Understanding art has always been a delicate subject. While some people are afraid of it (afraid of not understanding it) others are forcing it. Is there a way to bring art closer to those people that are not willing to ‘’cooperate’’. Well, there is one artist that certainly succeeded in this matter, and his name is Banksy. Banksy is the most famous street artist in the world and his art is part of everyday surrounding so you cannot avoid it. Even the big collectors couldn’t resist his original works, so some of them decided to buy a wall, with his work on it, for a price of £208,100! While his effort is well paid and accepted there are still people who from some reason are trying to sabotage his way of art expression, or maybe these people still do not understand the point of art!
