High Art versus Low Art
Some extra articles on the concepts of high and low art:

[|Lowest Common Denominator] - appealing to the majority of people, which is what popular culture tends to exploit. [|It's Popular Now It Sucks] - the contention that if something is popular, it does not hold as much artistic merit as something which is more obscure. [|Doing It For The Art] - Related to the first article, this one is about the idea that high art tends to be more about "true art", while popular culture is about money.
