WHAT IS CONSIDERED GOOD ART AND BY WHOSE STANDARDS?

It’s in the eye of the beholder, and how many people would like to have that piece of art. It then, in turn drives the demand for that piece of art work and increases the value. Take Van Gogh for instance, in his time his work was not that popular. His artwork wasn’t very expensive. A piece would have cost only $30.00, and now today his work brings in millions of dollars. Society tells us what is good or what is bad. We as individuals can like or dislike a piece of art, but ultimately society has the last word. The answer to whose standards is right in front of you .You yourself are the judge of what is good or what is bad. Society determines the value of art. I would say, enjoy art for what it is and don’t worry about whether it’s good or bad. Society will do that for you.
