asm I don't understand why people can't just look at something and say "i like it" or "i don't like it" and move on. That's what i do! :) Why do we feel the need to justify our emotional response to something?

i think saying 'i like it' or 'i don't like it' kind of ends the debate over the subject that a particular piece is trying to address. why do you study art? to confirm or deny that you like or dislike something?

surely art is not merely about justifying an emotional response, but rather about something much deeper?
