I think that art defines an entire civilization. It takes an advanced civilization to be able to support artists and thier works and as such the more art you have within a civilization the higher that civilization is.

What are your thoughts?
What about cultures in which art is functional? For example, Grecian urns, or Native American beadwork? Just because it's not hanging on a wall in a museum doesn't mean it's any less a work of art.

Also, what the hell is this topic doing in a forum about Thanksgiving?
