This would make a number of great artists of history "tasteless".

A would agree with that for a number of well known artists often called great.

If I were to bet on whether the critical consensus or some random person on HN had no taste, I would certainly bet on the latter. This post reeks of "Am I wrong? No! It is the artists, critics, collectors, and community who are wrong!"

There is no objective measure here. What i call good and bad is right for me and doesn't apply to anyone else-

wait - I though I was arguing for consensus here and everyone else was calling me wrong

		Did I mix that up? Regardless of whoever it may be, taste is indeed subjective (de gustibus and all that jazz).
