      So there's two possibilities, one is that artistic quality is objective and the other subjective If it's objective, then as we learn more about it and we get better over time - new art is better than old art just as new science is more accurate and new technology works betterhttps://twitter.com/iridienne/status/1290750884607954944 …

      Okay, so let me get this straight -- you care about the ongoing genre conversation, right up until you stop caring? You're fine with ignoring all the recent parts of the conversation because you like the older parts better? https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1290750234692333568 …

      If it's subjective, then, well, it's subjective I can like old stuff, you can like new stuff, neither of us is wrong But it will remain an empirical fact that the newer something is, the more currently living people will like it, because it was addressed to their tastes

      Either way, current relevance matters, art gets stale over time, and almost all artistic work is eventually forgotten That's how it's supposed to go ("This too shall pass")

      I think the second POV is truer than the first, but people who hold the first POV and DON'T think that, if objective standards of quality exist, we get objectively better and better over time are assholes

      If you believe in "real, objective truth" about anything and yet you don't believe we learn more over time and are therefore better than our ancestors then what's the fucking point Of anything It's not respect to your elders, it's insulting them by saying their work was wasted

      I just don't think art works like this. there isn't progress in art, though as you say, work of our own day tends to be more meaningful to us. (with some exceptions.)

      Replying to @nberlat @arthur_affect

      I'm gonna agree with this point broadly. And I say that as someone who got into LOADS of fights with his art school teachers over the merits of lots of modern art because I'm way more traditionalist in some of my ideas than others and had a bit of growing to do on the subject.

      Well, like I said, I think 2) is much more true than 1) but I bring it up like this because reactionaries who think there is an objective definition of beauty almost always also think we had greater access to it in the past than the present

          Again agreed. My issue was less the idea of "objective" definitions of beauty and more I felt like a lot of modern art was devaluing the craft but that's a whole other set of discussions. That I'm not sure I really enjoy having anymore.
