I am too occupied with trying to figure out what makes art good or bad. I am trying to form my taste, but it's entirely based in what I like in the moment. I don't really think about wide terms. I don't look at a piece of pleasant abstract art and decide I now like abstract art. Rather, I have been trying to keep an open mind and find out more about myself and about art through a lot of fresh experiences. I like to see new art. Some modern art can be silly or even outright stupid, yes, but I enjoy a lot of it. Concept art can be pretty cool.
I always try to keep an open mind when I see a new art piece because so much of what you get out of a work of art is the energy and thought you are willing to put into viewing it. A lot of it depends on the artist, but a lazy viewer can ruin a painting for themselves just as easily as a bad artist, and an unregarded painting can have certain qualities of excellence that a really enthusiastic, interested viewer will bring to the surface.
