Reply #22: But Critics Disagree [View All]

[Beetwasher]

Legitimate art crtics who have studied, disagree amongst themselves about what is considered art and what is not.

This is not about the merits of a critical opinion on a particular piece of art. It's about the nature of what IS art and legitimate critics disagree amongst themselves from time to time. This suggest there is no absolute, objective criteria for determining the nature of art. If there were, there would NOT be disagreement. Some things considered art today would have been dismissed as not art a hundred years ago. No one disagree's about what a "square" is because there is absolute objective criteria to determine that, and that has not changed over time. This is not so with art and is indicative of it's subjective nature.
