Artistic Worth and Personal Taste
نویسنده
چکیده
In this short article I explore two related themes, between which there is, I hope to show, a curious tension. The first is the fact of there being demonstrably better and worse artworks. The second is the undeniable importance of personal taste as regards preferences among works of art. What should be the relationship between what one as an individual prefers in the realm of art and what is objectively artistically superior? To what degree should the former be aligned with the latter? Might there be a conflict between these two apparent values, that is, on the one hand, one’s own taste in art and, on the other, what is truly better art? If there is such a conflict, in what way might it be resolved or reduced?
