Nick Lenz

But is it art? The same fight over whether photography is art is happening today in the bonsai world.

Nick Lenz is perhaps the most avant-garde of the bonsai stylists around. His work is easily recognizable right away, and most of the time has something to say about the world or the work itself.

My question is, can great bonsai rise to the level of art? Do you consider this particular work a work of art? And can a more traditional bonsai tree be considered art?

I recommend a visit to
www.artofbonsai.org for a wider view of the work currently being done (mostly outside of Japan).
