>was an example of a subjective opinion regarding art.
Because to put a scale between two authors means you can scale any two others. If someone is more art than another it means there is a level division, which is much sillier than just accepting that stuff that doesn't want to be art, isn't recognized as such and lacks an autonomous structure is art.

You seem that entertainment has a value. It doesn't science can be entertaining, cleaning can be entertaining, consuming art can be, and at the same time it can be serious and worrying matter. Goya wasn't entertained by his later paintings, not me meant the spectators to be.

>you're not using it in the same way as many people.
I'm suing it as it has been understood in aesthetic philosophy for more than a hundred years. If a store sells bread naming it cake it doesn't mean that the cook will take it the same way. Popular misinterpretation isn't something to be considered in a specialized space.
Also, you keep assuming I love everything that could be considered art, I don't know why. I really don't care for a lot of artists and I can understand their output and context without actually feeling anything from their work, at no point in this argument I've made a division based on personal taste, I keep using words like context, peers or academia.

Also, stop using adolescent as an insult, it makes you look sound as if you couldn't use real words to express yourself.

Because better is a meaningless word.
A work of art may have a bigger historical impact, it may resonate more with you, it may have a wider message, it may have a stronger impact (and it may achieve that by focusing on a single feeling or showing a variety of situations or being more understandable or trying to be more absolute orits symbolism may carry more meaning).
"Better" and "worse" are discussion stoppers, you don't get anything from the person who uses them and you can expand upon them.

The thing is that he ended up being as meritfull as someone depending on edgyness to get attention but on the opposite extreme, being sugary cute and generic in his style. If anything his earlier stuff had more variety and wasn't so cutey, he became a parody if himself as it tends to happen with a steady industrial production.
Not hating on him, but he isn't what he used to be.
