You've got what normal people think is good art. Then you've got what academics (art history degree) think is good art. Then you've got what artists think is good art. Those are 3 totally different areas on the venn diagram. Might not even overlap. There's no arguing with taste. If it floats your boat then that's empirical. But the artists are demonstrably the ones who actually know what they're talking about when we discuss "good art".
