How do you definite good art?

Or is it too nebulous?
Can one look upon art like some mathematical equation? I have seen beauty theories on what we consider beautiful thusly. I am merely thinking aloud and throwing things out there. Now i think Twitter ain’t the place for his question🤨
I often think about why a piece of art—like Duchamp’s urinal, for example—was deemed brilliant. How it has changed how we see art. What at first glance is absurd, upon closer inspection, may be illuminating, for their own and universal reasons
I believe, in theory anyway, there are 2 types of art audience: the intellectual and the emotional. Again i am thinking aloud. Subject to change and challenge. Though the subconscious is always at play regardless
Art psychology is fascinating
Though we are tempted to think art is subjective—i have often wondered about some primordial instinct at work when we view art—i am talking about visual art, which is more immediate than poetry or fiction
I am talking about visual art yo—not songs, poetry, whatever. Though one can draw //s
Regardless of all the answers and questions—one thing is true: that art is essential to man’s sense of being. Can you imagine a world without it?
I should even say “well-being”.
Then there are those who view abstract art and say, my 5-yo can do that!😂 don’t laugh i hear it too often in museums
At any rate what is behind our individual tastes? I often ask myself why i like what i like. It is another form of introspection.
So mayhaps can we all agree about velvet art? 😂 unless it’s some sort of parody
I have seen The Mona Lisa in person. Eh. I tried
