Pure Art

What is Pure Art?  This is a debate that goes on in the minds of artists, authors, and musicians alike.  Many people have different views on what pure art is.  Is it just any new piece of art or composition that's produced?  Does pure art need to be new and unique and stick the rules of culture?  Can pure art break the rules of the standard human understanding of art?  Is there actually any pure art, or do artists just complete pieces to make money and achieve fame?  All valid questions, but what are the answers? 

Simple.  The answer is whatever you want it to be.  In one way or another you are an artist, the answer is whatever you want it to be.
