Interpretation...is it valid critique?

Milo -- ''The statement "art is subjective" is a great demonstration of what a cliche is. ''

This is not so, and is, in fact, a complete misunderstanding of the term 'cliché'. Statements of fact, or opinion, may be repeated ad infinitum nauseamque. 2+2= 4 is not a cliché. Nor is 'Bananas are yellow'. The production and appreciation of art is manifestly subjective. That is what is meant. There are many examples here in all the fora and threads.

I do not agree that art or the creation of art is subjective. I agree that the appreciation or consumption of art can be subjective and even the identification but even those three rather broad statements are not universal. Iowa, art is not subjective, that is just another tired cliché

I can supply you with the information, I can't supply you with more. Did you ever notice how often a cliché is said to be 'tired'?

You have no opinion but your own. Ergo, in your opinion art is not subjective. You don't sense that there is a non sequitur in that simple proposition? Take care: you may be deemed to be one of the thickos who have to be told to fuck off.

You didn't provide information you provided the same old cliche as axiomatic. Please provide this information to support the rediculous position.
