I have a house, a car, clothes, and food. All these things serve an important utilitarian function, but I've spent gratuitously more than I need to on embellishments to the aesthetic value of these utilitarian things. Most people do the same. The only thing that distinguishes Art is that it doesn't posture as having some kind of underlying practical utility.
