22. Do I believe there is such a thing as 'bad' art.

I know art is subjective but yeah, I do think some art is 'bad' - or rather, I'd debate whether it was art at all. I'm a bit old-school. I am of the opinion that art should require a modicum of talent and ability, and if someone is churning out dross that a trained monkey could improve on, then perhaps it ain't art.

I'm also not a fan of 'art' that requires explanation and exposition before you can understand what on earth it's supposed to be. If the only emotion/reaction a piece of 'art' gets is someone standing there saying what the ever-loving fuck is THAT? then perhaps it shouldn't be in a gallery...

Oops, this is becoming a rant! LOL
