First sentence: When art is mentioned, pictures, statues, music, poetry, cathedrals, and so on, naturally come to mind; and the question whether a given picture, for instance, is truly art, which is sometimes put to the supposed expert, would indicate in the questioner a naive assumption that "art" is some subtle attribute, to be discerned in the picture by people whose training has fitted them to do so.
