- rbanffy 16y agoArtistic quality is one of those things that defy definition. It may be that it's aesthetically pleasing, or it may be that its design communicate some other inner quality or a completely different idea. It may be that the inner quality, in itself, has some aesthetic quality, much like a beautiful mathematical proof.
- powellc 16y agoRead 'Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance' Cliched as it might seem now, it address the abstract and almost mind-destroying properties of quality as well as anything can. Short answer: The feeling of high quality occurs when perception exceeds expectation; the feeling of low quality occurs when perception does not meet expectation (wikipedia).
