Today's Guardian article about a controversy using Basquiat's art for a Tiffany ad with Jz&B. All important works provoke thought and create a dialogue. "a representative from Tiffany said: “The beauty of art is that it can be interpreted in a number of ways. We may debate how each "scores" on each of them, but we do have a general consensus on who's at the top, middle and bottom of the rankings. Britney Spears may speak to millions, but she does not speak deeply or intellectually. It is those "facts describing what he did"-the ability to speak to . intellectually.for an extended period of time-that make Dylan, The Beatles, Nina Simone, Picasso, Hemingway. great artists. I see these as facts describing what he did, not objective criteria with which to judge art. If we take some of your items like 1) they have spoken to millions, did it in a way nobody else did, etc. Or at least I didn't see that in your post. However, we haven't established objective criteria that makes his lyrics better than any other lyrics. I agree he did all of those things and many of us think his lyrics are fantastic. If some art is "good", I hope you'll agree that some other art is better, and some is best.ĭylan, one of my favorites, and not only because he is from Minnesota :~) I also notice that you use the phrase "good art". But as others have noted above, I believe we can rank art, at least in broad strokes, from better to worse. Second, I did not propose that we could measure art or emotional reactions. I agree with what you've written, but you've kind of straw-manned me twice.įirst, if The Beatles had stopped at "She Loves You", I would not have used them as models of innovation. Looking for some objective, unemotional measure is not only fruitless, it’s wrongheaded because objective unemotional measures can’t tell us whether what we’re seeing, hearing or reading is art, let alone good art.
It can be joy, like rock ‘n’ roll it can be anger and tears, like Picasso’s “Guernica.” So the only measure of art is people’s subjective reactions. But lots of artists tried innovations over the years that weren’t accepted.)Īrt is simply what inspires. (Yes, the last chord of the Beatles’ “She Loves You” hadn’t been heard in popular music before, and there are other examples of their innovations. Well of course there *is* nothing objective about art.

Seriously, there isn't a track that I skip. Just press play on this one and you'll thank me later. I love the music, her voice, the emotion put into the music, and absolutely everything else about the album. Lady Blackbird's debut album called Black Acid Soul is easily my album of the year. Heck, it's Sunday and I couldn't even wait for the week to start before posting this article. This album came out Septemand I've listened to it nearly nonstop ever since.

That, plus the fact I don't always give out awards, make this "album of the year" even better. I know, it's only September, and I'm announcing my album of the year.
