Hmm.....art is subjective

We are trying to get back into the swing of things after summer so off we headed to an art opening.  After grabbing a glass of wine we did the walk around.  The gallery itself has cement floors, white walls and an outdoor patio. Nice.  This is a post where we (who attended) all agree. It doesn't happen often but it did at the gallery.  None of us would purchase or hang the paintings we saw. So yes art is extremely subjective. Considering some of the pieces were over $4000.00.

This goes back to purchasing what you love - regardless of whether anyone else likes it or will appreciate it.  If a piece of art works - be it a card, print, tile or original resonates with you that is the deciding factor.  Price, artist, being shown in a gallery does not matter if the piece doesn't speak to you.  So yeah art is subjective and we are okay with that.
