Parent was a bit over-confrontational and defensive, but I think it suffices to say that there can be many types of art.

Géricault, Mondrian (early and late), and Standard Highway Signs [0] are all art, but with different goals and paths to getting there.

That an author chooses florid prose doesn't make them superior or inferior to others, aside from the skill with which they wield language.

Some people prefer stop signs. Some like The Raft of the Medusa. Plenty of room for everyone.
