I disagree.
One can go further than that.
The art of craft vs the craft of art.
The aqueducts are a technical marvel- and there is artistry there- at least to these eyes.
Commercial pop/rock, to my ears sounds pedestrian for the most part, especially compared to what I consdider 'great musical art'.
There is also a craftiness to art- compare Sargent to some horrible modern concept art and you can see the craft of art there in the former, whilst the latter is purely theoretical.
The art in architecture? What about the craft of it?
Again, to quote fripp- "The genius is artless"
