Art is Subjective.

Art is subjective. I think that's all it comes down to. Not a single person will look at a piece of art and think the same thing of it, it may be similar, but never completely the same. We each have individual thoughts towards what we view in the art world and what we believe to be great art. I could absolutely love a piece, while another truly hates it. It happens for all pieces. So, why have these five become so controversial over the rest of the millions of pieces of art? - because they're widely known and create conflicting ideas and thoughts? I don't think there is one true answer to why these pieces have caused such strong feelings and disputes, other than that the artist was brilliant. I think that any artist that can cause such controversy in a piece is truly talented. Clearly, he or she has managed to evoke an incredible amount of emotion from the viewers. In my opinion, that's the best thing about art - the emotion that it creates within us when we view it. If it causes controversy, even better:)
