(B) The author expresses concern about the defects of contemporary
art definitions. "Since 1900, a large number of definitions of
art have emerged...none of them, apparently, are applicable to the
whole of what is accepted as art by the art world...Not only do contemporary
definitions of art fail to agree on any common approach to art or
on common areas of concern, but individually many of them do not even
serve to differentiate those works that are conventionally adopted
as art by many artists and critics from those that are not." The author clearly feels that contemporary art has been neither defined
correctly nor fully. (600)
