About "Bad Art" - there is question how artist conveyed his feelings, thoughts or emotions. If you as viever can't catch the idea, so this is what I call "bad art". If it is easy to understand- this is good. Some people may think about "good or bad" in terms of "beautiful or not beautiful".
Yes very true. Beauty is in the eye of the bolder though. There is a book called A History of the Ugly

In medieval and Renaissance literature, ugliness often serves as an outward mark of a character’s internal depravity. Such a character is self-condemned, destroyed from within. But there are also cases of ugly characters who stand up for their ugliness, as though in protest against the moral code constructed by the larger society—or even by the text itself: it is not that their ugliness hides an internal beauty, but that they reject the standard of what constitutes beauty or ugliness, frolicking and reveling in the cool mud of what has been condemned as dirty or loathsome. Assistant Professor of English and Chair of Medieval and Renaissance Studies Rachel Eisendrath focuses on what Ben Jonson called “turdy-facy-nasty-paty-lousy-fartical” characters in the works of Geoffrey Chaucer, Edmund Spenser, William Shakespeare, and Jonson.
I thought it was great and I think everyone should read it. LOL.
After reading it I felt it harder to determine what is ugly and if I should call someone else's dream ugly or not. LOL.
