None of the above.

Art is something that required artistry to produce.
 
Sometimes art happens by accident. I recall being given a demo of how rubber stamping works, and the woman giving the demo was using a stamp of pine trees, and black and orange inks to make it a sunset scene. But she hadn't noticed something under the paper - some small thing on the desk, which meant that the stamp's impression wasn't clean.

That accident resulted in the coolest picture of a dragon rising from the mist of a lake, surrounded by pine trees, under an orange sunset sky. It was beautiful. :)
 
Art is unique to its time, its language, its culture and the cultures ideals. The original meaning dies with the culture that spawned it. Same with the truth.
 
^I do not agree. After all language does differ from place to place (and terms can change with time), but below language are the actual 'meanings' which apparently humans tend to form in (to a degree, not entirely) a tied way to the rest of our species..
Language can be likened a bit (again partly, and this is very general a note) to math, in that manner. Math is of course a far more restricted language, so as to be more mutually intelligible to people who learn it. But it comes at a cost, as all restrictions (axiom-based or not) do.
 
I would agree if humans did not make any effort in bridging communication gaps and attempting to come to some understanding.
