I'm not sure, because I think i'm rather stupid,
but haha, I think it's a unique interesting way the artist put his thoughts into the art,
it all goes together and flows but it has a personal vibe to it..
it has their colors,
it brings some kind of emotion or likable taste to everyone who looks at it,
and it looks good.
it obviously comes from the heart.. and it has a god like vibe,
it does'nt look amature it looks woah,

?
like you know how you look at a good guitar player, and then you look at someone like kevin thrasher..
yeah like that, it just feels god-like.

Like you said, art is subjective. It can't be measured.

Un certain... je ne sais quoi ;D

who ever does it and whoever likes it

Yo, let me teach you how to master girls. Yo, first, yo, you got to act like you da boss of the dog pound. If she tells you, yo, that you need to wash the dishes, then tell her to wash them herself, yo. You get me, yo? You need to wear the pants in the dog pound, yo. Don't let her manipulate you, yo. Your the man. So makin' a masterpiece would be breakin' her to a piece, yo, and there you go.

Well... the term "masterpiece" comes from the days when particular jobs and trades were controlled through a union (called a guild). There were several levels of skill recognized by the Guild ... the lowest being an "apprentice" and the highest being a "master"

It was a very elite group to be considered a "master" of a particular trade. You could take on apprentices and use them as "free labor" in your craft as you taught them your skill, you essentially held the monopoly on a craft in your particular town, etc., etc.

When someone of a lower-rank (a craftsman / tradesman) wanted to be recognized as a "master" - they created a work in that craft sometimes it would take YEARS to complete their master-piece ... and then it would be judged next to the work of other recognized "masters" of the trade.

Only if the Guild recognized your work as being on-par with the other masters of the guild would you be elevated to that rank.

In the world of art ... yes, it's VERY subjective.

a master created the piece?
