Sorry for the late response!

Art was about making people ah and oh,

= Awe (haha: [ɔ]) and amazement?

then it changed to huh and ugh,

= Bewilderment and disgust?

then people changed to hehe and meh.

= humor and boredom?

Uh-huh.

(Though the latest turn wasn't just on the side of the consumers; the producers also make more and more jokes instead of the former design-oriented art of the sixties.)
