Quote - ....when the goal itself is technical and not artistic, then it is axiomatically not art.

I still take issue with that as a generalisation because - to some people, perhaps some with OCD, for example - the pursuit of technical excellence of itself may well be their method of artistic expression.

I do agree with you on a purely personal level, however.  I have been bemoaning my own lack of "art" at the expense of technique.  There are still things which need attention in my technique but from now I'll be spending more time on the substance, rather than the style.
