I'm looking at the Unlikely Landscape collection (http://museumofbadart.org/unlikely-landscapes/) and realizing that I can't tell the difference between good and bad art.



I genuinely like some of them.


Some nice Bob Ross attempts.


Indeed, any of say Ludwig Kirchner paintings could've been added to this collection, and no one would spot a difference without being previously acquainted with his work and fame.


Some of it looks not unlike Rosseau, which is quite highly regarded, despite many considering them a joke at the time.

Use just ugly for that case.


After all, art may only be a matter of consensus.
