Personally, art, is for me, in the eye of the beholder
There are two sides to art, what looks like and the effect it has on you.
Some art can be appreciated as showing the skill of the artist, but will have little or no emotional impact, Other art might take ages to prepare, but has huge emotional impact, positive or negative.
Not everyone goes to art for the same reason though. I can wander around the NPG or National Gallery and appreciate the representational stuff and learn what it tells me about time, place and context. But I also enjoy the Tate Galleries with their installations and the pieces that move me, whether to disturb or to soothe.
I remember watching a programme where Rolf Harris tried to paint in the style of Picasso, and for the first time I understood what the artist was about and stopped calling it rubbish. Maybe that sort of insight comes in different ways for different people.
Chacun a son gout

Chacun a son gout – that is what I said fgs!
Anyway, I like those paintings Poli put up, but I wouldn’t want them in my house! I think paintings go ‘with’ a house, for example, those would look stupid in an old farmhouse built in 1823, however, they would look great in a modern appartment – some you would love to put up, but they wouldn’t suit it.
Here, I have Monet prints and photos in frames of all sorts – kinda a mishmash, but nothing modern.

Shhhhh…..whispers to Wordsworth….. she did… she told me she did :D
What about Urban Art or Graffiti as it used to be known………do you appreciate it?……. Do you see the person with the spray can as an artist?
Where I live there is a youth centre where the back wall has different art work on it every month………..I personally think whoever creates the pictures really does have an amazing talent.

I think there should be more “legal” space to allow the artists to express themselves.
