Art is the physical manifestation of creativity,untainted by politics,religion or any social viewpoint.
The Mona Lisa is art.
A jar of your own piss with a crucifix stuck in it and calling it Piss Christ is not.
Some might say the Cistine Chapel or the Pieta is religious in nature,but it's not-it neither promotes nor denies a religious viewpoint.It is the artist's interpretation of a story from a book.
And what does pabulum mean?

Oh but art is a reaction to religion, politics, and ALL social view points. They're what fires the brain into reacting or possibly rebelling.
Can you compare Monet with Romero? You'd have to be looking at both from weird angles, but that's what so great about art. There's a broad spectrum, prismatic almost, to which you can compare artistic works.
What can hold the prestigious title of "Art?" In my book it sure as hell won't be a movie like "Chopping Mall" however, someone into 80's B horror films can draw various conclusions that enables them to see that piece of shit film as a masterpiece. (Be very afraid of that person).
