What about art where all there is is the intent, or the statement. Thingls like a red circle and a yellow square on a light-grey canvas at 12x20' that is supposed to somehow commment on the state of mankind. Or squiggles of paint splattered all over a canvas which look like somebody spilled the condiment tray, but are supposed to speak about loneliness and despair.
