Yes, I think though in your matrix where an Artist has intended a thing to be art, but its not perceived to be it, is mostly a form of communication breakdown.

Yes, I think though in your matrix where an Artist has intended a thing to be art, but its not perceived to be it, is mostly a form of communication breakdown. An artist has tried to send a signal, but it hasn't been received. A famous artist may decide to leave a can of soda on a picnic table in a park. You observe it, not knowing who placed it, and it looks like litter. Later, you see a photo that the artist took, with a statement about their artistic intent. You now will see that object in your mind as an art piece to be considered, it might not just be considered well. Certainly every artistic statement does not require appreciation from the public as a quality statement, anyone who's gone through art school knows that. However, it most likely is the case that if an Artist intends something to be art, and no-one perceives it as such, its not 'good art'.
