Is it possible for something to be unquestionably high art or unquestionably low art since the advent of post-modernism?
Even though we can never know for sure what the artist's true intention was?
John Cage could have been lying about his music just to make it more popular in the avant-garde community. Perhaps he really set out to make pop-music but failed miserably.
Perhaps Britney Spears whole persona is very high art on her part and she is really a genious making an avant-garde piece of art- herself, the annoying pop artist.
