@leon@Nezchan plus art is subjective and there's really no objectively bad art. Specific people not liking it, or it not being popular, doesn't mean it's necessarily bad
Taste is certainly the most subjective! But I’ve come to understand and appreciate art as a communication and expressive medium for the otherwise inexpressible. From that perspective we can certainly judge art at how well it communicates, as much as we can judge other transmitters!
So when I say bad art I’m not talking about unpopular or unpleasant but *unaffecting*. When I make art that doesn’t say anything, even to me, that’s bad art, in the same way that if I can’t hear a voice on a call that’s a bad connection.
It’s totally possible to make art that’s pleasant, popular, skilful, crafty, cultural, intelligent, valuable, beautiful and still not say anything, still not good art.
But that’s just how I think about it, I think every artist has their own definition for what is insufficient which is valid and crucial.
Which is what I was getting at here, if one feels one makes “bad art”, by whatever definition you use, they are most assuredly still an artist making art.
