Gompertz begins by tracing the history of art from the cave paintings of Lascaux to the contemporary art of today. He shows how the definition of art has changed over time, and how it has been shaped by social, political, and economic factors.

Gompertz argues that the traditional definition of art is too narrow. He believes that art can be anything that communicates an idea, and that it can be found in any medium, from painting and sculpture to music and dance.

Gompertz's new definition of art is more inclusive and democratic. It allows for a wider range of artistic expression, and it gives everyone the potential to be an artist.
