If one is to ask a room full of people what good art and bad art is you would get different answers across the board. For me personally good art is a piece that grabs you and makes you think beyond the actual piece, it makes you ask questions like why did the artist choose these colors and is the background just a background or is there more to it. The more the piece of art makes you feel involved and wanting to understand it the better it is. For example Raphael's painting St. George Fighting the Dragon , when i see that i not only see the actual image but i start making a back story and asking myself questions to better understand the entirety of the painting.
Now bad art to me is simply art that doesn't grab my attention and make me want to know more about it, it doesn't have to invoke life experiences but a simple wow that's cool would do. Bad art doesn't do that to me, its just an object that exist and nothing more. That's how i feel personally and i don't mean to diminish the work of the artist who put there sweat and soul into those paintings but just not being able to get a reaction from it makes it bad art in my personal opinion. The painting below me some people may be able to see beyond it being just splatter from a brush, I cant i only see the splatter and nothing more so for that reason i would just keep moving along if i saw this in a museum.
