There's actually been much debate towards whether pornography can even be considered art, thus calling into question whether a Hitchcock or Coppolas of the Adult Film Genre can even exist.
I personally am of the belief that porn isn't art, due to its use and audience. When someone views porn, the pornographic material is almost invariably acting as a means to an end, namely satisfying sexual desires of the viewer. Art on the other hand isn't a mean to any end. Art is to be appreciated for what it is.

- Helianthus 15y agoIf you're still categorizing art into "not art" and "art" you have a long way to go. As you say, Art is to be appreciated for what it is.
- sliverstorm 15y agoSomething can't be art simply by virtue of being called art.
