It is possible to make wonderful art when that is not the conscious idea or goal, when its creator does not even see himself as an artist so much as an artisan or skilled worker and simply wants to do a good job that will accomplish its intended purpose--which may be utilitarian or commercial. There is much of that in Japanese ceramics and woodblock prints, which can be exquisite or amazing works of art far more impressive and satisfying than much "fine" art by "serious" artists.
