Danto was quite a different read, I feel his logic was fairly solid, we cannot 100% understand a piece without the conceptual parts from the artist. These ideas put art on a graph of conceptual and representational. However, I still believe that no matter how representational an art piece is, it may be still something that is a representation of larger concepts in someone's life. It could still be a very complicated conceptual idea, but still representational of objects in normal life.
Couldn't find any appropriate place to post this; I posted a response to your response to me on Andrew Nelson's post. You can find it on his blog or on my blog found here < http://farore-chls-philosowind.blogspot.com/2012/03/potatoes-v-dogs.html >
