@momodot Your 'cultural expression' concept is an interesting twist. I'm curious... There were certain styles of houses and furniture that were popular in the '60s (the styles used in the movie 'The Incredibles" for example). There were certain styles of graphics and font treatments popular in the '70s. Would you consider those things 'art' because they clearly reflect the culture of the time? Does it matter if they weren't considered 'art' at the time of their construction (I suspect not but I'm asking just in case)? Please note that I'm not at all challenging or arguing - I'm just trying to clarify what you mean.

Before they made me they broke the mold!
