We were having a debate about this in our Writing class earlier. Half of the class was split on this. Some say it is an art, some say it isn't. Opinions?

I understand what you're saying brooklyneast, but maybe my definition was a bit inclusive. Works of art in some way or form have purposes, but I think the parts of the work of art that give it the character of a masterpiece have no purpose. They're not there for anything. Intricate details serve no purpose at all in objects, even portraits. Of course details are needed in portraits but not the ones artists put on there that make it unique (or worthy enough to be called art). To me it's not nonsensical but it's really hard to explain how I feel about art. My theory comes from reading Oscar Wildes and he's wonderful at explaining things, if read up on some of his art theories I think it may be a little bit easier to understand.
