It depends on the art, the artist, and the person experiencing the art. I think that when the three groups can come to a unanimus decision about a piece of arts definition, then perhaps then it can be defined. Other than that rarest of cases, I'd say no. Because art evokes an emotional response, it is rarely the same thing to everyone. Where I see Mona Lisa as drab, yet brilliant, others might see it as a serious expression of emotion. We're both right, of course.
