This is easily disproven by showing a child two paintings.
- watwut 5y agoHow? The kid will like the one painting targeted at kids and that is it. Also, kids are exactly the demographics super susceptible to claim liking or disliking things based on what their friends say about them.
- ryanSrich 5y agoThat doesn’t make sense. Show a kid 2 paintings they’ve never seen before. Show it to them in isolation. Guess which one they pick?
- watwut 5y agoHow would that prove there is no sociological aspect? Or that people don't use taste as in-group signaling?
- nepeckman 5y agoI'm almost positive most kids would pick a Lisa Frank piece over the Mona Lisa. Are you trying to make the point that bright colors, rainbows, and unicorns are the highest form of art?
- watwut 5y agoTo be fair, Mona Lisa as general go to example of bestest painting is on itself a proof that taste is socially constructed.
- nepeckman 5y agoI agree with you, and view my comment as complementing yours by refuting the parent, rather than making a value judgement on Lisa Frank's work. Apologies if I missed the mark there!
