To state this another way: it's extremely useful to have the word "art" have
the broader definition. If Guernica is a political statement, what makes it
different from:
"Corrupt government is bad."
That's a political statement too. But it's certainly a very different sort
of political statement! Isn't it a lot easier, if nothing else, to say that
Guernica is art that expresses a political statement?
