What does all this have to do with this thread? I think the question is what does ART have to do with bonsai? I am not being flip here, this is a question.

I can look at a tree that has been designed by someone else, I look at it, critique it in my head, think about the things I may have done different, and come to an assesment on whether or not I think this is good bonsai. If I am moved, It is good

What are the criterion for these so called artist trees? What is it that makes them far and away better than the rest? What am I supposed to be looking for, or is it a feeling? Is it a display, maybe a three point display, maybe the pot, or the way the whole package is put together.

I went back to the original post and re-read it. I re-read it 5, yes 5 times. I think after the re-read, I answered most of the questions within the questions. I was probably on the right track to begin with.
Any comments?...
