It should be clear by now...I have few real principles.  But same rules apply. There are NO PRINCIPLES involved. I appreciate art of EVERY kind. It's just a matter of degree. |

Good musing. But I disagree. I might like something, with also being disturbed by it. The movie Martyrs is a good example to that. Being impactful is also a good asset. I, for example, don't like Quentin Tarantino's movies except for Inglorious Basterds. I really see nothing in them worth "liking". Also the band Tool. I really think it is nothing special. Fibonacci numbers, my ass... Edited by Shadowyzard - October 17 2021 at 13:49 |

i value being able to appreciate and seeing or finding value in art without liking it. And that just because you like something doesn't make it inherently good, and just because something is bad for you does not make it objectively bad. I like what I like now for a whole host of reasons,, and what wouldn't appeal to now may appeal at some other time, and what appeals today might not appeal tomorrow. I tend to value growth and change when it comes to appreciation and perspectives.

Art...Principles??? Those are mutually exclusive terms in my mind. The whole concept of art is No Principles. How else could an artist break through the social complacency? The question seems moot. Like most people, I would imagine, I know what I like when I see/hear/feel it.

I normally "wait" to be adequate/mature enough. Well, it means I constantly better myself, and I pickily entertain myself with artworks that are higher than my intellectual/language level. If I happen to choose something that is interesting but too sophisticated, I wait for the right time to enjoy it. If I don't do so; I neither enjoy/understand the art pieces, nor appreciate them justly/properly enough.
Oh BTW, I never value anything purely because some charismatic/intellectual people do so; nor do I discredit something outrightly because it is a classic/masterpiece. Also, I'm not affected by the tastes of the artists whom I admire. If something is good/bad per se, for my liking; it remains so. |
