When I judge art, I take my painting and put it next to a God made object like a tree or flower. If it clashes, it is not art.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When I am finishing a picture, I hold some God-made object up to it - a rock, a flower, the branch of a tree or my hand - as a final test. If the painting stands up beside a thing man cannot make, the painting is authentic. If there's a clash between the two, it's bad art.
Unless you are a born connoisseur of art, you will not be able to judge by yourself why certain art is superior to other art.
It's not a science when you are judging art, but we'd be remiss to say you can't look at something and say, 'This is more well done than that.'
Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.
If Art relates itself to an Object, it becomes descriptive, divisionist, literary.
Art to me is not precious enough that I feel territorial about what the word gets applied to. Conversations about what counts as art and what doesn't doesn't captivate my attention very much.
Art is Art. Everything else is everything else.
When you look at art made by other people, you see what you need to see in it.
Art, to me, is the interpretation of the impression which nature makes upon the eye and brain.
We do not judge great art. It judges us.
