An artist intending something to look a certain way is the poorest defense of this way being good. To reduce it to absurdity, an artist can also say “I intend it to be bad”, and it still won’t make it good. Ultimately, judgement of a piece of art belongs fully to the audience.
- coldtea 3y ago>To reduce it to absurdity, an artist can also say “I intend it to be bad”, and it still won’t make it good You'd be surprised. There's a whole lot of excellent art created with exactly that mindset. John Waters for starters... >Ultimately, judgement of a piece of art belongs fully to the audience. The audience are the last people who are qualified to judget a piece of art.
- yakubin 3y agoGood art can be created even though the author intends it to be bad. But it isn’t this intention that makes it so. The audience are the only ones who can judge. Noone else will see it, after all. :)
