How do you define a good quality artwork without any measurement, of course maybe for art we don’t need strict measurement or anything as art is artist expressing emotions and the world around herself, but we have to agree that not everything is good enough! Or has a high quality which is also very subjective, I might enjoy modern art and not necessarily all the conceptual art, but some might still think traditional painting is the best art (which I would like to discuss with them and change their mind ;) or better say lighten their bias) but it makes it very difficult. Specially nowadays that you can do all sorts of random bs and call it art and some people will be amazed by it. To which I always say it is different but it’s not necessarily nice or artistic or even having a meaning!
Good questions Sara! It's totally possible to spend one's whole life arguing over these questions. I do think it doesn't collapse into complete relativism. There is such a thing as standards, which have to do with some very deep structures in the human brain: we get very upset by bad art and astonishing things happen to us when we run into good art -- and startling numbers of people react more or less the same way when faced with the same work. But, yes, there are layers upon layers to these questions!
