Sometimes it finds a paying audience, but most times it doesn't. For every celebrated artist, there a thousands of no names lining the road. If art finds it's audience is also largely dependent on contemporary tastes and marketing. And art critics are part of the marketing machine. They're experts on technicalities, but everything else is still taste.

The only art forms that have to find an audience, no matter what, are movies and video games, since there's a lot of money involved in their creation.

If there is no standard for art, then how would you respond to my claim that my three year-old's self-portrait is just as artistically valid as The Last Supper?
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
