Art

When two objects of art are in different categories, are they judged by the same criteria? Compare a modern pop song and something written by Mozart. Or <i>Citizen Kane</i> compared to the latest Ben Stiller movie? Andy Warhol compared to Rembrandt. I've heard critics argue that even a dumb movie is good, because that's what it was intended to be. If everything is judged by a different criteria, then the adjustable criteria could allow for all objects to be judged highly.
