    There is an "art" to everything, though not everyone reaches that point. Some people are great cooks and a handful are true culinary artists.

    I agree with the earlier "collage" reference. Jacob Lawrence and others begin their work with source material gleaned elsewhere, and strived to make something completely new. This new thing was strong enough to stand on its own, without references to the ingredients. There are DJs (a few) who have crossed that line and I would call them artists.
