    Of course. Art isn't just portraits and statues.

    But this:



    may or may not be art. I don't want to argue. I guess something being art depends on a person being able to appreciate it.

    But even if that's art I wouldn't want it in my living room and I wouldn't pay to see it.

    Art can assume strange interpretations. The materials used can be most things man can get into his hands but some kind of aesthetics must come out of the set. The evolving capacity of abstraction that is being reached by the common person, not only by some illuminated minds has as a consequence the appearance of some strange forms of art. Others don't look strange at all but the way they are build is completely astonishing. Take a look a Joana Vasconcelos art:

    Marilyn is made with pots, pans and their lids




    War Games was made with plastic rifles and Joana grand parent car


    Coraçőes (Hearts) were made with color plastic tableware




    In this case I meant art because building such engines is the culmination of a long line that includes a rigorous industrial process, heir to the best tradition of the United Kingdom, through the fact that it is technologically the most important element in a plane, that it works in high regime for tens of thousands of hours, that the tightening each screw is measured and each piece has a fabrication and a control quality as if it were unique. All this makes for an aircraft engine a real piece of art.
