Have we covered ourselves with enough High Art Pudding? Some disagree:

Question 3: Photography as Art (39:46)

In this segment, I answered a question on photography as art.

    Does photography qualify as art? I’ve always viewed photography as a legitimate form of art. However, many people I disagree: Ayn Rand argued that it’s a technical rather than a creative skill [echoing Plato’s view that cookery is a knack, not a skill.] However, I regard photography as a technical and creative skill, just like painting. So does photography qualify as art? If not, does that mean that photography doesn’t have value – or has less value than proper art forms like painting? If photography has value nonetheless, what is the source of that value? My Answer, In Brief: In my view, photography is not, strictly speaking, art because it’s not wholly the creation of the artist in the way that painting is. However, that doesn’t imply anything about the value of photography, which is often considerable.

"The museum: an isolation ward for painting and person." T. Adorno

Nice cloak, Teddy.
But you did come up with some pompous nonsense about art, for example: "Art is permitted to survive only if it renounces the right to be different, and integrates itself into the omnipotent realm of the profane."
And: "Art is magic delivered from the lie of being the truth."
Stick to fashion, Teddy Boy, and stay away from art.
