I should say that the ‘meaning’ I am speaking of, in relation to art, is a certain kind of meaning, an impersonal meaning that is nonetheless sublime in a way that ordinary meaning is not. An artwork that fails to obtain to the level of art might still have meaning of a sentimental kind, even if it lacks this larger, impersonal meaning. A mother can love the ‘art’ that her five year-old child creates while at the same time recognizing that the work is not in fact art.
