I'd go even further and say art should not be judged by wether the critic personally agrees or disagrees with its thematic content--it's the execution that counts.
I couldn't go that far. I think that needs ot be qualified. While artisitc execution is important, thematic content can be determinaitve of its value to me, as the viewer. This is not to say for ALL viewers, just to me as an individual. This depends greatly on the media chosen as well as the message being conveyed. SOmeone might sling monkey dung at a canvas better than anyone else out there, but I don't want to look at it.
