WHY?• If art is the pursuit of the aesthetically
pleasing, why do the reproductions come beneath the original paintings?
• How do we explain that the Mozart is different in every performance in terms of speeds, volume and overall sounds, yet is still “great art”?
• Are our aesthetic judgements subjective or objective?
• Does a work of art need to be man-made?

We need to consider
• The intentions of the artist. (Though does intending something to be art mean that it is?).
• The intrinsic quality of the work. ( What about forgeries though?).
• Spectator response? ( Do we need an expert opinion though… can we trust ourselves to be objective?).
