In a way, he is right, yes - he would need to spend more resources. Probably on hiring someone with an eye for art. But how could he tell if that someone actually has an eye for art, if he doesn't have one himself...
I'm not sure he can develop an eye for art, however. He writes "To learn to do better art" - but it's not the doing that's the problem, but the seeing. How do you teach a sense of aesthetics? It seems to me more a matter of taste - you find a picture pleasing, or not. You may be able to learn why you find it pleasing, but the subjective experience itself is not a product of any kind of knowledge.
- thanatropism 7y agoA proper musical education is pretty effective in teaching a sense of (musical) aesthetics. You need to start from first principles, though. In music this is done eg by learning to logically develop independent harmonically coherent voices (rather than thinking in “chords”).
- scns 7y agoI don't think so. Heard educated musicians perfectly play music that left me indifferent. Musicians that create music that touches me are often self taught.
- thanatropism 7y agoSure, but those self taught musicians already had a sense of aesthetics going in.
- scns 7y agoThat's it, thank you. Technique can be learnt. Not sure about a sense of aesthetics.
