Which is to say that art museums now display things which may be of some interest to those intent on reading into what is simply there some ulterior meaning, but which, failing to have been intelligently constructed, have no internal logic, convey no meaning, and have no constraint. They are therefore not art.

I'm not sure this even qualifies as a sentence, let alone a lucid definition of art.
