Well, one might object to some kind of cheap coat-tail leverage a bad poet tries to get out the other work of art; or to a poem that merely wallows around in doting description; or to a poem's success depending on the reader's knowing the picture/music (though I don't think that's the end of the world).

Jody, I saw today a sonnet of Rhina's on Escher where the octave does indeed draw his picture--but with words that add value to the Escher, not just describing. And then, of course . . . there's an Espaillat sestet.

But a poem is sparked by something; in an ekphrastic poem a picture, or music, is just a type of spark.
