to me if it looks bad it looks bad.... i judge everything on first impressions - no need to analyize - that is why I did not do well in art history.... if i like it i like it, if it looks bad it just looks bad no need to understand why the brush strokes etc etc.....same with bjork...... i once had a coworker tell me he did not like the beatles WHY i ask.... "they are too mainstream" oh please....

a little off topic, but it proves a point: i never liked picasso. until i read quantum physics and the theories of the fourth dimension. i realized that picasso was trying to express the fourth dimension through his art which was not only difficult but revolutionary and after understanding his art i appreciate it. i think this rings true with a lot of art and when we first see it we are often put off by it because its strange and we dont understand it. i think this is where the problem arises in art because this allows people to say, "you dont like it because you dont understand it." while this is often true i also think there is a lot of crap that gets passed off as art under these pretenses.
