I don't think that assessment of art is accurate.

Most art is not "pretty form without sense". It actually has sense and meaning more often than not, so we can debate what a particular piece "means".

The difference with engineering is that art's meaning is way more subjective, and that if I "miss the point" or simply disagree with the consensus on its meaning, this doesn't make an airplane go down or a nuclear reactor to melt down.
