Mormon Red Death and I went to the Warhol Museum in Pittsburgh (does that mean we're a couple now?) and there's plenty of stuff that defies conventional definitions of "art" more than the Campbell soup cans (I'm thinking of the cow wallpaper and the pattern-print of "Natalie".)
Which all supports tooblue's point that it might not be up to us to determine whether or not McNaughton's work is "art".
My view is that it is indeed "art." I just like to mock the message."More crazy people to Provo go than to any other town in the state."

There's three rules that I live by: never get less than twelve hours sleep; never play cards with a guy who's got the same first name as a city; and never go near a lady's got a tattoo of a dagger on her body. Now you stick to that, everything else is cream cheese. --Coach FinstockComment

The last one is not "art" because it was not finished. A primed canvas carries no narrative, no intent, and the reception is different from that of a work of art, especially in the age of mechanical reproduction.In his [Arthur Danto] 1981 book, The Transfiguration of the Commonplace, Danto pondered the problem of indiscernibles some more and produced a thought experiment. Imagine a bunch of identical canvas squares painted red, each of which has a different meaning, history and name. One is a historical painting of the Red Sea. Another is ''Red Square,'' a punning Communist tribute painted in the manner of Malevich. A third is ''Red Tablecloth,'' by a sour disciple of Matisse. Another is a canvas primed red by Giorgione. They all look alike, but some are art and others are not.
Is this art?
Duchamp called this old urinal "Le fontaine."
How about this?
What about Botero's take?
