Art used to be about the magic and skill in the execution

Nowadays, execution doesn't matter and 'Art' is all about the concept.

Once, Art wasn't a category so nothing was catapulted into relevance by being categorised as 'Art'.

Even a maginificent painting was not "Art", because "Art" wasn't a 'thing', but rather was about the skill required.
