What is the definition of great art? How can we distinguish great art from poor art?

If art may be considered to be a three dimensional thing where those dimensions are, in order of importance, truth, life, and form called sometimes beauty then the crudest classification would be to classify a piece of art by whether it has one or more of those features or not... A feature of a piece of art that artists as well as civilians appreciate is whether the piece is inventive or not (called then "traditional"), which we may represent by fourth dimension called "inventiveness."
