The Nature of Art

What is it that makes art, well.....art. Is it intent? If the person that created it says it is art, is it automatically art? Or is it a stranger's eyes that make it art? If I look at an object and I see beauty, or pain, or struggle, or contentment, does that make it art? What if the creator didn't mean it to be art and doesn't think that it is? Is everything and anything art as long as one person thinks that it is?

This is the article that brought these thoughts up:http://www.opinionjournal.com/extra/?id=110008540
