" The experimental test of whether this art is great or good, or minor or abysmal,is the effect in the effect it has on your own scene of the world and of yourself. Great art changes you." - Sister Wendy Beckett
Everybody has a different view of art. Some people like the Gothic style while others prefer abstract pieces. But whether your friend likes it or not is not important, it is whether you like it. Every piece of art that is considered "great" by art critics has had a personal effect of many people. Does the symmetry in Davinci's "Mona Lisa" make you think of the golden ration that describes the "perfect" human?what she is mysteriously smiling about? Does Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel make you think of the heavens? Every one has a different taste in art, but yet some pieces are considered grater than others. Maybe it is just about the effect it has on people when they see it. As Sister Wendy said "Great art changes you."
