What do you consider to be ART?

Nowadays the title of art is applied so liberally that it mkes it difficult to distinguish what is actually art, and what is classified as art... Gone are the days of Michaelangelo, Van Gogh, Monet. Do contemporary artists even compare in talent to these greats? Are we too open minded and accepting, prepared to accept anything an indicdual labels as their art work, or has taste and talent progressed so that art is a much wider avenue?

Thats what i mean, art is such a broad term open to interpretation nowadays whereas in the past there was a definitive guideline to which it had to conform to be condired art.
