What is Good Art? + Interpretations

We've been talking a lot about interpreting artwork in class, and that got me thinking about what it means to interpret properly. I found a piece (linked below) that frames art in terms of world-views, and elaborates on how our emotions drive interpretation. The text also makes an interesting comparison between judging visual art and music in similar ways, as music tends to be more intuitive.

(Btw, the featured image is not from the text. I just found it and thought it fit nicely with the idea of visual interpretation :))
