That's totally a sensible idea! It's just that I think you're (dramatically) overreaching with it. Production of art certainly involves a multitude of objective factors -- those the factors when we self-criticize, when we learn, and when we study. But the piece of art, regardless of its many objective qualities, is not in…
Thanks for the link, Arc0, I totally missed it. Though the text there is very arguable Author doesn't prove that "Taste" and "Opinion" aren't the exact same thing. Dictionary definition for taste: "A personal preference or liking" For opinion: "A personal view, attitude, or appraisal" could they unarguably be considered…
firstly, you're a pleasure to have a discussion with. very concise I very much a agree that a piece as a whole can not be judged objectively, I didn't claim that the whole could be judged objectively and I am not sure that is even possible. Things are a summary of their parts and they tend to be judged that way. If you can…
You realize all thoes artists were COMMERICAL artists? usually paid by indivduals or the CHURCH to paint something speciifc, that had a speciifc purpose. Portraits, biblical scenes, ect. They were the epitomy of commercial art/design Hell Rembrant didn't get paid by half the people in his famous Night Watch painting…
Hey guys. Thank you very much for your feedback. I'm glad I got to run it by you. First of all I am sorry, I chose poor words for the title and ended up confusing you. The paper should've been called Art Is Never Too Subjective To Judge. I fixed the first post to help a bit. I am in no way stating that art is not…
Cheers, buddy. For me art will always be subjective as well. It was really my huge bad with the original paper title, 'cause I feel like people just keep disagreeing with things we actually agree upon, inertially. The paper really came out of my talk with my drummer friend who told me their new keyboardist was kicked out…
I think these 3 sentences is far more concise and to the point than your first post. This is basically the start of a huge paper, delving into historical and modern art, trying to quantify this hypothesis. Why is it correct, why might it be wrong? What historical examples can you give in trying to establish contextual…
Jocose. I greatly appreciate your effort to communicate buddy. I would argue with me myself if this is what I thought I meant. But I don't remember ever saying something should possess a purpose. The paper always uses such words as "majority" and "almost everything". Especially this: where does this come from? There's only…
