Art is anything you can get away with.

Summary

This quote by the American artist Andy Warhol implies that art is not limited to traditional forms or boundaries. Warhol believed that artistic expression was not necessarily defined by strict rules or standards. Instead, it can encompass a wide range of creative acts and ideas.

It suggests that artists have the freedom to experiment and explore new territories, as long as they can successfully justify and defend their artistic choices.
