Wow Vllad, so jaded. Did your mother take your crayons away at and early age.
Your trying to define the art into some bucket you think it is.
This from Wikiepdia
Art is the process or product of deliberately arranging elements in a way that appeals to the senses or emotions. It encompasses a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music, literature, film, sculpture, and paintings.
Has there been original music? yes. Not that I like it, but Rap wasn't around in the 18th century. Blues were not present in the 18th century. At not from my definition. You can argue that rock came from the blues, but why do you think that variation on a theme or modifying an artistic thought is not art?
Ive seen some original movies too. Even concepts of worn out genre's like westerns. Unforgiven was a fresh look at a western, and frankly I would call it good art. There are many others that while they me be compared to an old thought, the original thought and expression of it, is art.
There ave been some really well written books too. In fact all the examples have shown good variations of art. The one argument that I have had with people is related to Photography. Some people just snap a pic, hang it up and call it art. Agree. But photography isn't about the picture. Its about the photographers eye and capturing what they want to see is art. Some very good. Some not so much.
You can argue if there is good art. You argue if you like it compared to someone who doesn't. But I don't think you can argue if there is original art. Every variation on a theme is orignal. If this wasn't true then there is no difference between Mozart and a cave man beating a club on a hallow tree.
