Actually no you can't. You can't call it art when it isn't, but you can call it your preference. Your opinion does not make things fact, and they can be easily wrong. Art has an actual definition, and you cannot say something is art that doesn't follow the definition. You can go ahead and call it "subjective art" or "art to me" but you cannot call it art because that is just wrong, hence you are wrong. Deal with itl |
You are right in saying that art stimulates an emotional or intellectual response, however where you are wrong is assuming that you can define what will cause that response for each person. That's the bit thats subjective. So yes, as much as I hate Lady Gaga's music to somebody it is art, it stimulates emotion or perhaps even the intellect (though god knows how).
Art is subjective because what causes one person to feel something, does not always cause somebody else to feel the same thing.
