Good art vs bad art
Map by Jash Dholani, attempting to establish some differences between good and bad art. I love his initiative and think this is a good starting point for further exploration.
What would you add or change?

It's ok, but this is dumb.
The best artists I've met are the ones with the best weed 😂
I also have my reservations on that point, perhaps he can expand further. It seems a bit too subjective.
Definitions of truth, goodness, and beauty must be explained.
Beauty deserves to be more deeply explored in terms of form. Expression has been over emphasized in the current century at the expense of truth, goodness, and beauty.
Agreed, though I think he didn't want to trap beauty too much in a specific formulation on that particular point.
It seems the beauty point is more about an open question: is the artwork attempting to celebrate beauty?
Principles of beauty exist, yet beauty is not the only component of value in an artwork. If we add the attempt, the striving toward beauty as one of a number of points, then that point doesn't overshadow the other possible values that an artwork can have.
Perhaps we don't need to pin down beauty with too many restrictions of definition.
