I'm certainly not the most appropriate person to share view about Art. I believe that works of art will be appreciated by at least someone as long as those works are coming from the artist's soul. I think that works of art shouldn't be approached by measurable means - how many people like them or how much profit they're making, that's a different thing and it's irrelevant to the art itself. When a small child is painting an image, that's also art irrelevant whether the world likes it or not. Surely one has every right to like and / or dislike a work of art, in this case it's more appropriate to say "I don't like this piece" or better "I don't understand it" rather than calling it bad art. Personally I stick to the stuff I believe I like even if this doesn't allow me to open my mind and that's the reason I'm not the appropriate person to talk about Art 🙂
Opinions are opinions, beliefs are beliefs. Thank you for sharing yours, very interesting. I wonder. If the intent was to make money, and that intent was left out when publishing the work, would it considered to be a dishonest work? And how would that be if we do not value an artwork at all?
No, it's fine to have the intention to sell the work of art, whether it sells or not what it say about that work? It's good? Bad? I guess an art expert can share an insightful opinion, but like you said, opinions are opinions. Also it's fine to value the art, I mean though that valuing it is something irrelevant of making it, at least that's what I think, maybe I'm outright wrong about it.
