The difference between sport and art is that sport jumps right at you. The lines are generally straight and clear, with little need for interpretation.
Art is laced with many more dimensions.
What you see often can depend on what you want to see. One of the city's newest wall murals honors Wilt Chamberlain. The work of artist John Lewis, located on the side of Frank's Place at 13th and Vine, is a stunning piece of color and imagery. Still, I find it lacking. Besides the fact that it's difficult to find, it doesn't say Wilt Chamberlain to me.
