Let me rephrase

The definition is restrictive. Not warped, just restrictive. Its boiling down a complex cultural insitution, art, into "pure aesthetic pursuit."

Art has never historically been a pure aesthetic pursuit, its complexity and beauty is manifest in the diverse motivations of its creators.
