That's a good point. The problem is, as soon as you narrow the definition, someone creates art that doesn't fit it. Music has the same problem. I had a music teacher in undergrad who asserted you could push a garbage can down a stairwell and it would be music. I don't think it can. Not everything that creates emotional response is art, just as not all sound is music. But I don't think it's possible to narrow the definition further than that, without excluding valid art.That's a pretty broad definition though, isn't it?
How could that definition be narrowed to weed out the obvious exceptions?
