explores a compelling definition of art in Understanding Comics and Reinventing Comics - "Any activity which does not have the primary purpose of survival or reproduction" - to me judging as art/not-art is a fool's game, judging good art/bad art is pure subjectivity

OP seems more concerned with plotting an art's value on a spectrum and deeming it a "strong" or "weak" art rather than defining "this is art / that is not art" - historically it seems when people talk about what art is they're talking about what they're willing to pay for
