It's almost like you never actually saw the show. They constsntly criticised Data's art in all forms because it was always missing that human element. Even when he is solving mysteries as Holmes, Polaski points out he's just memorizing the books, and the holodeck is just re-arranging details from the books and not creating something new or novel (at least up until they ask it to make a mystery to challenge him for real and it makes Moriarty sentient).
Of course it couldn't have passion or emotional resonance to it; he doesn't experience emotion. Vulkan art on the other hand...
