all true...

isn't there another thing to consider though..?   or perhaps it's best stated with a question..

What is art for???   Does it serve some purpose?   and if it does then does it not succeed insofar as fulfilling that purpose even if it only does for one single person looking at it or experiencing it in some way..?  

any form of art if it happens in a void it doesn't mean much, but even in the eyes of only one person it can be a great thing that has meaning...

just a couple more thoughts on it...  ;o)
