Put simply, every work of art, regardless of its form, is an expression with purpose.
There must be communication, representation of the experience of reality, the sound or color or motion of individual experience. All else is presentation and narrative.
The idea that one artist "competes" with another for the same audience is ludicrous. The artist of merit is driven by the singularity of personal expression, or the so-called "art" is a ruse with no more motive or reason than a vaudeville act whose time is past.
