It's clever, but is it Art?

Summary

This quote questions the distinction between cleverness and artistry. While something may exhibit cleverness or intelligence, it raises the question of whether it can be considered as true art. It implies that art goes beyond mere cleverness and encompasses deeper meaning, originality, emotional connectivity, and aesthetic value. It encourages us to critically analyze and evaluate works of creativity in order to discern whether they truly possess the transformative power and inherent qualities that make them genuine pieces of art.
