"You can have your opinion, but it's wrong. I mean that as in "it's objectively wrong." You can see that in any basic analysis of arts, and in many displays of it. The origin of the Santa Claus image in Coca-Cola's advertising? Art, and well considered and criticized art at that. The images of the Marlboro man in the production of those pieces of advertising, considered quite excellent examples of commercial art and even debatable as examples of high art. In fact, if we take the definition of art that usually promoted by artists themselves: a piece intended to evoke an emotion, provoke a response, communicate an idea – there's nothing in that inherently incompatible with commercial activity. If it wants we would have to immediately strike from the rolls of "art" any piece that actually sold. In fact, any piece up in a gallery with the intention of selling is exactly that – advertisement. Your objection is that you don't like your response. You're provoked. But rather than spend time..." - Alexander Williams
