I feel like all of those are or were driven by creative intent. I am personally not moved much by Duchamp or Pollock, I feel like they exist more to advance the discourse than being art pieces in themselves. Then again I am not looking for an all-encompassing definition of art.
Why include photography here ? do you not feel most of the work lies in selecting a moment in time & a point of view ?
I do feel that way, which is why in the next paragraph I mention selection.
Ah, I see, ok.
Why not now ?
Because, as a reaction to generative AI, so much emphasis is now placed on authorial intent, and the interplay of that intent and the process by which the artist realizes it. Such as being able to recognize a specific artist's mannerisms and read emotions into the shape of their individual brush strokes. Like in your previous comment:
I feel as if 10 years ago the conversation was very different. I think back then if someone said "the most important thing about art is being able to see the imprints of the artist's will flowing from their mind, through their hand, and into the workpiece" people would immediately bring up something like Fountain and say that art can also lie in selection and the creation of context, not just in the creation of the object itself.
