There is an attitude shown in some works that some art doesn't make a lot of sense and should be mocked as pretentious and elitist. It is spoken of ironically as 'True Art,' implying that it is neither true nor art.

Naturally, the characters doing the mocking are portrayed as Philistines by the artistic characters... if the artistic characters are allowed to say anything at all, that is. Philistines are not notably fair about such things.

[[Captain Obvious|In case you haven't figured it out yet]], True Art [[Mind Screw|doesn't make a lot of sense]]. Strictly speaking, it's a quality of fiction which, in the minds of critics and artists, allows an otherwise normal work to transcend itself and become a statement on the human condition. This nebulous quality has never been hammered down by anyone, except perhaps to [[Its Popular So It Sucks|sneeringly look down on popular works]] [[Complaining About Shows You Don't Like|they don't like]] [[No True Scotsman|as not being "true art."]] The quest to attain this status, however, has produced some distinctive tropes of its own.
