"The value of a piece should be on it's technical merit - it either is or isn't thought provoking, well executed, or whatever."
That's pretty much the sound-bite version of how I feel about art. I have a hard time with the concept of "art" in general, however. Sometimes I think that I have bought into both what the classicals say about the modernists, and what the modernists say abou the classicals. The result? I hate it all. :/
Ok, I'm not quite that bad. But it's still an issue for me.
