...yeah. [[CaptainObvious Just in case you hadn't figured it out]], TrueArt doesn't have ''objective'' criteria. Strictly speaking, it's a quality of fiction which, in the minds of critics and artists, allows an otherwise normal work to transcend itself and become a statement on the human condition. This nebulous quality has never been hammered down by anyone, except perhaps to [[ItsPopularSoItSucks sneeringly look down on popular works]] [[ComplainingAboutShowsYouDontLike they don't like]] [[NoTrueScotsman as not being "true art."]] The quest to attain this status, however, has produced some distinctive tropes of its own.

A quality of fiction which, in the minds of critics, allows an otherwise normal work to transcend itself and become a statement on the human condition. As with most tropes, the nebulous factors which define "great art" often have certain patterns worth categorizing.

Ironically, many of these qualities, precisely because of their commonality, often come under scrutiny and mockery by regular consumers, who question whether something is really "artsy" or whether it just uses themes that show up often in literary circles. Since this is a [[{{Understatement}} pretty complex topic to analyze]], it's a bit beyond the purvue of a mere index.

These are some common archetypes concerning TrueArt:
