    art used to mean that a high degree of skill and craft was involved, but the term 'high art' is now somewhat defunct, deemed so with the rise of outsider and conceptual art.

    I agree with baskerville in what he would want from a piece of art, but that doesn't mean this isn't art. Art isn't going to invite you in offer you a brew and tell you all about itself, and will often only strike a chord with a minority.
    The argument that 'anyone could do it' doesn't carry any weight either, the fact is you didn't and he did, and he's the one getting published.
