hoots7 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I'd think of it like a comedian. We can't really explain why he's funny but he is and he manages to fire up feelings inside of us that make us laugh and like art, not everyone find him funny. Great comparison; and a joke isn't funny if you have to spend a lot of time explaining it, just like good art I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert_evrae Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 Darn, you're right! That the key to good art could be so simple! Its so elegant. The artist's pompous explanations become the measure by which the art is judged to be 'good'. If you read the explanation and find yourself agreeing --> good art. If you think 'what a load of tripe!' --> bad art. It makes the judgement a very personal one of course, though a 'better' piece of art would hopefully be one that appeals to more people.
