They are far too many to list. Do you really not know of any objective
standards in any genre of art?

For craft, perhaps.. but there are no objective standards of any
significance for *pure* art.

Pure art? What would that be? Here is a hint art and craft are inseperable.

None. Your pronouncement below is
offensive.

I guess to some.

In it you attack core components of major works of modern
art, such as composed by Steve Reich (eg. "It's Gonna Rain") or John
Cage.

Balony. No art is attacked by my assertion other than crap art.

Furthermore, this suggestion that objective standards of art can
be found in 'any number of text books' is quite repellent in it's
orthodoxy.

Sorry you find the truth repelling. Your burden.

"That's easy. Music that is randomly off key is objectively inferior.
Music that does not conform to any scale is what? Not music. How about
rhythm. Music that is played with musicians accidentally out of sync
with each other is objectively inferior. There are so many objective
standards in music and other arts. Again, they are not as cut and dry
as the rules in engineering but they do exist. You will find any
number of text books on them."
