> I think art should have to pass a test

Don't fall into this trap. Art does not need any objective, universal tests or categorizations. It is by its nature subjective and impossible to precisely define or measure. Yes, it is this subjectivity that modern art abuses, stretches far beyond the point of breaking, saying "if you can't precisely define it, then anything can be art!", so it's tempting to try and find a test that would exclude modern art, and validate the art we hold dear.

But this is a misguided effort. Like being told by film critics that the Minions movie is just as good or better than the Godfather, and then trying to find some objective, mathematical test to prove them wrong. That such a test doesn't exist doesn't make the two films equal, or their claim any less absurd.
