Art needs to entertain me. Otherwise, I see it as self-indulgent on the artist's behalf. In that vein, I'd say most art is self-indulgent. I need to appreciate the humility and tedium put into a piece. I also need to feel something when I experience it. Obviously, I'm not a universal conductor of all things artistic, so I concede that I may not be appreciating a lot of things that could be considered 'art' by others. Art is subjective.
