People back then were fully within their right to claim that e.g. photography was not a true artistic medium. Despite what the lay deviantart donut steel illustrator would have you believe, you don't get to decide that what you create is art simply because you say it is, or because you put effort or craft into it. Art does not owe its inception to the artist, but to the observer. That is what we mean when we say that art is subjective.
You can STILL to this day make the argument that photography isn't a true artistic medium, if you want to. The reason that's not a very widely held opinion is because most people who have had any sort of exposure (lol) to the medium have witnessed art within it, in some form or another.
