My point has never changed. There is no standard for art. It's a form of expression for the individual doing it. Sometimes it finds a paying audience, but most times it doesn't. For every celebrated artist, there a thousands of no names lining the road. If art finds it's audience is also largely dependent on contemporary tastes and marketing. And art critics are part of the marketing machine. They're experts on technicalities, but everything else is still taste.
The only art forms that have to find an audience, no matter what, are movies and video games, since there's a lot of money involved in their creation.
