art is dead

The statement that the attempt to convey meaning through representation has run its course, and cannot be improved upon, only repeated like a ritual in a vain attempt to recreate the original feeling of "novelty"

Also, could refer to an actual person named Art, who is now deceased.

Arts Degree

A university degree that offers students the ability to study a wide range of subjects, but ultimately learn nothing. The arts degree provides a broad college experience, but extremely bad job prospects.
Arts students will often try to disguise their choice of course by naming the individual subjects they're doing, e.g. 'Theology and Sociology', 'Anthropology, Quantitave Economics and Medieval German'.(Nice try, it's still arts!)
Having only 8-12 hours of college a week (including tutorials, practicals, study and any other work their course 'demands') leaves arts students with a lot of free time. This free time is usually taken up with protests, smoking weed, sleeping, attending concerts or styling their hair/applying fake tan.
Written on a toilet paper dispenser: 'Arts Degree: Please take one'.
