I think you have a good argument.
There is a standard for art.
But there is also a personal preference which supersedes the standard.
So,you're both kinda right.

Art is the physical manifestation of creativity,untainted by politics,religion or any social viewpoint.

The Mona Lisa is art.
A jar of your own piss with a crucifix stuck in it and calling it Piss Christ is not.
Some might say the Cistine Chapel or the Pieta is religious in nature,but it's not-it neither promotes nor denies a religious viewpoint.It is the artist's interpretation of a story from a book.

And what does pabulum mean?
