- dagw 5y agoThere is no contradiction between something being both a terrible photo (or painting or sculpture) from a technical perspective and art.
- kergonath 5y agoThere are various philosophical and artistic movements for which art should not look like art. Others are about art being abstract, inaccessible and incomprehensible. Others yet are about use of archaic techniques to blend a modern eye with faux nostalgia (proto-hipsters, one could say). There is not one kind of art. Art does not need to be popular or broadly understood to be art. You are not a majority anyway. Good taste, feeling, and emotions are personal.
- IggleSniggle 5y agoI agree that you can’t just take awful photos and say “these are good actually,” but I think these are incredible! Haven’t enjoyed a photo series as much as these in a long time. I suppose, as they say, there really is no accounting for taste. My own included, of course.
