Good point! OK, let's stick with the subject (as opposed to a photograph) for a moment. Suppose you climb a mountain, and near the top gaze upon the snow-capped peak. This is completely untouched by man, as it snowed last night, and you are the first person on the scene. Would you call this art?
Deeper...
Would it have been art before you looked at it?
Even deeper ...
Would it have been art if this had happened 10 million years ago, before there were any people around?
