Where's the "art" in imitating RL things as close as possible?

Call it by it's real name: copied RL

So the Mona Lisa isn't art?

If somebody took a photo of the same girl in the same pose, which would you consider more "artistic"?

The painting. It's imitating real life while the photo is real life.

Photos are real life now....

Are you of any Australian Aboriginal heritage by chance? In particular, the ones whose beliefs are that photography/camera steal the person's soul and encapsulate it in the media?
