I've said that the purest form of art is the art you "never" see.
I said it with the idea of art with a profit-driven motive as a lesser art.
So in some philosophic senses, I "reject" much of what is called art,
including music, etc.
As for your list(s), your culture seems more generous to you than me and
maybe Don. Fortunately perhaps, there's now the internet, where,
ironically, the art that is "never" seen is being enjoyed by many, freely.
