How do we rate art?

 

Three views in assessing the value of art (based on theory of philosopher Richard Wolheim)

Realist – aesthetic quality of absolute value independent of any human view

Objectivist – also an absolute value, but based on general human experience

Relativist – not an absolute value, but depends on and varies with human experience
