Milo -- ''The statement "art is subjective" is a great demonstration of what a cliche is. ''
This is not so, and is, in fact, a complete misunderstanding of the term 'cliché'. Statements of fact, or opinion, may be repeated ad infinitum nauseamque. 2+2= 4 is not a cliché. Nor is 'Bananas are yellow'. The production and appreciation of art is manifestly subjective. That is what is meant. There are many examples here in all the fora and threads.
