Art in decadence?

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

I think people conflate 'subjective' with 'arbitrary'.  Just because something is subjective doesn't mean that there aren't rules, principles, and regularity because minds aren't completely arbitrary, they have natures.

I’m not sure i agree that there are ‘rules’ for art. I think art is unique in the respect that is intended to evoke emotion. Of the two sculptures posted above (both of which clearly qualify as art), my preference is strongly for the second one, since David, while as technically impressive as Canby, doesn’t move me. The first time I saw the Rodin sculpture, it literally took my breath away.
