Marcel Duchamp realized art can be made from anything, and that anything can be considered art depending on context. This led him into a deep depression that in turn drove him to suicide.
Robert Rauchenberg realized art can be made from anything, and that great beauty can be found in the mundane. This led him to be one of the most prolific artists of the 20th and early 21st century.
As someone who sees a great deal of objective truth in the world, I think art is about as subjective as anything can possibly be. If you have an opinion about something that is being called art, good. If you can articulate your reasons for liking or disliking something, great.
Pondering whether something is art or not doesn't really seem worthwhile to me.
For the record: I can't stand the photo style that started this thread either. But I don't consider it worth bitching about. The world is full of too many horrific logos and terribly kerned headlines for me to care. :P
