Skill and it solving a problem.

I think art has suffered a lot of inflation under capitalism to such an extent that artists have to make "cool shit" that sells instead of making actual art(e.g. cultivating the technical skill and mastery to solve an existential and human problem.)

You can see it clearly if you just write abstract art into the Youtube search bar, and you'll see videos of people making decorative shit that looks good on a wall but has zero philosophical or artistic merit other than looking decorative.

For art to be objectively good it has to be good on an objective level.There are several other types of properties that do not fall neatly into the categories listed above. The National Park Service publishes a series of bulletins designed to aid in evaluating properties for NRHP eligibility using the criteria for evaluation. Though the criteria for eligibility are always the same, the way they are applied can differ slightly, depending upon the type of property involved. Special Register bulletins cover application of the criteria for evaluation of: aids to navigation, historic battlefields, archaeological sites, aviation properties, cemeteries and burial places, historic designed landscapes, mining sites, post offices, properties associated with significant persons, properties achieving significance within the last 50 years, rural historic landscapes, traditional cultural properties, and vessels and shipwrecks. Copy-pasted that from wikipedia to waste your time retard.

relations of the parts to each other which are overloaded with a multitude of meaning by the artist either through his sensibility or power of character.

aggregate consensus of mutually independent appreciators makes it an objective judgment even if there is a subjective remainder over which there is no consensus.

It's the synthesis of subject and object. The art itself has a power that can be discovered if the subject let's it. The real essence of a piece of art can be experienced not by focusing on the art itself, but by looking inside and observing the movement of the affected soul.

Bach made objectively good music because it is mathematically complex.
Any ‘subjective’ appeal is to the emotions, so that can change depending on the mood and general state of the same listener, let alone different listeners, on any given day. The raw data of the music is filled with tension and resolution on several levels simultaneously which we seldom have the mental capacity to realize all at once, while being indisputably precise and measured. That’s leaving out the profound emotional content that results as a byproduct of listening, if the perceiver is attuned to it at that moment (tldr subjective appeal is contextual)
Other forms of art, like a play, can incorporate order and precision but obviously too much order seems almost unhuman— so people include various deviations. A usual play largely appeals to the emotions, but nonetheless it has a certain order. Because of this it is more subjective in appeal.
Bach on the other hand is able to be cited as objective due to the mathematical precision which produces episodes of tension and resolution. The earth is positioned precisely where it is thus able to foster life. But emotions have nothing to do with that.

Sry for responding so late i was going to sleep a while after posting.
There are many cases of autism but some or even many have thes symptom that people having it are sensitive to stimulus of certain kinds (words, touching, music - rythm, pathos, numbers cant say it too detailled sorry) and they often also have some form of tunnel vision which allows them to dive into things they are thinking about involving a focus and therefore understanding other people cant bring into the equation of making something meaningfull.its like playing chess and you have 10 seconds to draw but the othet guy has 10 minutes per round. Its not even they can think faster (many can) but it still fits i think. They are just allowed to look deeper into things than the average human beeing

>bach has so many facets, but underneath it's just math bro, everything else is an illusion

>but i also reread this classic, precisely because I can find new aspects that i wasn't aware of. always something new to discover with this author. it's an objective quality that every serious artist tries to achieve, including js bach who disapproved of for math-centric music theorists like rameau or mizler.

>so ur saying there's no uniform experience, sounds very subjective bro. also here's some abstract art that has unlimited aspects that not even its creator was aware of, just tricks human pattern recognition. ur just an imperfect biorobot haha.

>but others have praised this classic for the same quality.

>so you are ok with herd mentality? you probably also objectively like harry potter and billie elish huh? check mate.
