To me, if someone puts a great deal of thought, time, and effort into a project, then I see it unquestionably, as "art". Whether their project be a comedic short film, a landscape painting, or bottomless shots of a nude model.
Deepsepia is right, pure art and pure porn are two completely different subjects, but that doesn't mean that porn can't be considered artistic. On the other hand, if woman wants to take topless photos of herself and call it art, that's all fine and good, but she would be wrong to deny it as "porn".
Pure porn constitutes subjects with no artistic input; mass produced photos and videos society gave birth to in its video and digital age.
