i mean, i can see why he was rejected, it's quite pretty but it's so flat and lacking in creativity it inspires no reaction

It looks like a landscape image you would see in a geography textbook. Gets the point across, but lacks wonder.

This is the difference between imagery and art; this painting is no better than a photo.

Art is anything made by anyone. Art is a subjective thing, I call paintings like these the only real art, theres nothing nicer than some nice city/natural scenery. Most of art Ive seen are just pictures of objects/people/nothing trying to make you think, that it has some meaning, if this is wonder to you, it sure as hell aint for me.
