Simply put, Aurora. He's not.
As we discussed in class, for every question that could be raised about a work of art based on the word "when" we can find a counterpart with the word "what."
When is something a work of art? What makes something a work of art?"
When we use an artwork for a common task, is it no longer art? Does the use of an art object control its properties?
While there are some circumstances in which the word "when" more easily creates a question about an art object, it is merely a semantic difference that distracts us from solid discourse.
So can we find any value in Goodman's treatise?
