My stand on this, for most of my art career,has been and still is,
that good art and bad art exists within it's personal identity yo
some "one' or group of" some ones"

I think I'm the only person on this list who believes that good art
exists --
not merely as the personal opinion of an individual or the
collective opinion
of an institution - and with no scare quotes required.
Everyone else denies it, but eventually, everyone will sneak such a
notion
into one of their sentences.
So, now I am beginning this ongoing thread to catalog the ongoing
examples
that appear on this listserv.
Beginning with:
"Samuel Johnson wrote most of his good stuff solely to get money"
Cheerskep
(2009/02/24)
Perhaps, Cheerskep would happily replace "good stuff" with the
phrase "stuff I
think is good" or "stuff that gets anthologized the most".
But .. that's not what he wrote -- and if anyone here is able to
choose the
best phrase for what he has in mind -- it would have to be Cheerskep.
***************
Other examples will follow as they appear in our discussion.
( I am sure that very soon William will be telling us something
about "the
best painting" )
