I don't remember having the objection you've raised as I went through it — that "chaeffer has yet to prove convincingly that a Christian should embrace the arts any more than she or he should embrace curling or archery or building sand castles" — but it's been a couple of years now. That said I think it only represents the beginnings of an important theological work that no one else has taken on yet, at least to my knowledge. I’ve read Art and the Bible at least twice.
