Hmm, seems a tad contradictory...
Let me see here. Is it your contention that art has to meet BOTH those requirements? Worded more specifically, art is something crafted by an intelligence for the purpose of entertainment and is also viewed as entertainment by the intended audience. Is that what you are stating? Or, are you saying that the former isn't accurate but rather art is whatever we accept as entertaining?
Forgive me, but the meaning isn't entirely clear.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
