What significance does art have for your "living well-being"?

I’m into scenes from mangas. For me, that’s art. For my parents, it can go away.

Truly artistic pictures (so no Ikea canvases) are simply too expensive for me. I think my money is too precious for that. What goes on the wall is whatever I happen to like at the moment. Could be photos, cheap canvas prints of StarWars, scribbles from my son (if I say a pig painted it, it’s probably art), etc. Design-wise, I’m like HilfeHilfe – we take whatever we like as long as it’s not too expensive. I don’t care whose name is on it. In the garden, there’s a rusty rocking bird hidden in the flower bed. The neighbor’s boy enjoys it more. In other words, we are total art philistines. I enjoy nature more than contemporary art.

I am an absolutely hopeless case. I can't make head or tail of it.

Family photos, vacation photos, and artworks of my little ones adorn the walls

Evolith, here is a misunderstanding: Art - expensive. Yes, if you collect and speculate on appreciation, you have to splurge sometime. but otherwise? Is a painting for 300 or 500 already too expensive for you? Or sometimes even less, my Sikker Hansen from 1937 is a flea market find, in one of our rooms hang 2 Ngo Hais, he is a nobody, street painter, Vietnam, brought back from a trip, but I like his pictures. whether he will ever become famous is something I don't care about at all. Art starts with eyes open, soul open, not wallet open. Karsten

I also bought a pretty picture from a Pole at a Berlin flea market for 150. In hindsight, I regret not taking the bigger one for 250. Great painting, but whether they are valuable now or will become valuable, I don’t care at all. By the way, I consider a bulletin board or drawings by children as art - mostly :)
