Conceptual art is quite basically the idea that a concept
becomes a driving force behind a piece of art. The concept takes precedence
over tradition aesthetics and material concerns. This forms the challenging
idea of what a photo is of and what a photo is about. The two hold very
different meanings. The conceptual focuses on the about while the aesthetic and
material concern addresses the of. The problematic nature with conceptual art
is determining where it begins; does it start with an idea or with an
aesthetic?
