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. |
The emotional part yes, however the intellectual no. If Lady Gaga stimulates someone intellectually then they are either very young, very uneducated, or have not seen much of the world at all. It has nothing to do with subjectivity and everything to do with what experiences you have had before, or what one's mental capacity is. In fact, if anyone is intellectualy stimulated by Lady Gaga, it says infinitely more about them than it does the song they are listening to.
