There can only be meaningful discussion of any topic if there is an agreement on a basic definition of terms. In this case, that begins with first coming to an agreement on a definition of art.
My post ##318 states how I define art as I understand it. To try to have a discussion with someone who defines it differently is pointless - unless that discussion is about the differences in our definitions of art. But until some common ground is established as far as what art even is, it's a waste of both parties time to bang away at each other about what is art and what is not from perspectives that are mutually exclusive from the start.
I doubt that you're a neanderthal and I believe that if you ever get interested in art to the extent that you decide to study it and its history in greater depth, your perspective will change a lot.
