8 yo: Dad, do you know about abstract art and bad art? Me: Yes. But why do you think abstract art is bad? 8 yo: I don't think there's much to it. It's just a bunch of random shapes.

i don't get why anyone has opinions on art that aren't entirely personal
-
-
if good art is art that pleases some given audience, and abstract art is popular, doesn't that make it good?
-
what else influences popularity?

apple flavors are also designed by humans with tricks, but perhaps there is no such thing as good taste in foraged wild foods in and of themselves, as soon as you pair them though...

Apparently Thomas Kincaid makes the best art there is.

Another way I've been thinking about this same idea: it's not about good vs. bad taste but about taste vs. lack of taste. Taste has intent/thought/depth/individuality. Lack of taste doesn't have any of those things

Been thinking about this essay a lot last 24 hours. Think it is good but missing one piece of the puzzle. Great art is about intentionality. What is the artist “going for” and how well do they achieve it. Integral to great art is an ambitious intention w/excellent execution

That’s why even some modern art can be great. If the artist’s intention is “shapes that make you feel X” that’s inherently a less ambitious intention than the Sistine Chapel. But if they nail it, it can still be compelling ie great art
