A Masterpiece

A masterpiece, What is that? Who decides What is an Amazing work Of art that Is above all The rest? Who is the Judge that Decided whether One painting Or story is A genuine piece Of shining gold? What is there To the process Of deciding on What makes a Piece of art So good; are There certain Criteria that have To be met To get more Points for it? Why do they Have to be Compared to One another To prove the Grandness of The first over The other? Why have different Competitions by many Types of people That have different Biases of their Own towards which They will pick And which they Will not? Why does a Piece have to Be seen by Many to finally Be recognized as A masterpiece? I get that A piece can Be objectively better Than another, but It is also very Subjective in the Same exact way Who really knows What is going On in someone’s Head when they Read or see Something made by Someone else; it Could affect their Opinion or go Against what they Believe or know In a real sense, How can people Be trusted to Understand whether A piece of art Is “good” or “bad” When feelings can Affect the outcome? But I guess, It’s the only way To tell because What else do poems And art and writing Appeal to other than The emotions of People, so I guess The subjective truth Is the same as The objective truth In this case Written on January 29, 2021
