I've long been a fan of recognising the art, and particular the humour, of art forms that are not traditionally recognised as such. A classic example would be the crossover that graffiti has made from being property damage to in some cases fine art.
I should like to start with one of my favourite forms :
The writing in the dirt of an unwashed truck/delivery van of slogans designed to amuse etc.
As someone who drives regularly with business I have collected these over the years. They are, sometimes, works of comic genius that can greatly liven up a dull trip.
My top 3 at the moment are :
(on a large truck) "Quiet Please : Albanians sleeping within"
"Driving lessons by Michael Schumacher"
"Designed by experts, driven by a crash test dummy"
(My next untraditional art form will be the comedy martial art fight sequence)
What are your favourite untraditional art forms? What would you class as art that stuffy experts would frown upon? Examples, discussions etc all welcome.
