The experimental test of whether
this art is great or good, or minor
or abysmal, is the effect it has on
your own sense of the world and of
yourself.
Great art changes you.
-Sister Wendy Beckett
I believe that Sister Beckett is trying to convey that the only opinion that matters when judging a piece of art is your own. Art can have a profound effect on both the viewer and the artist, and the measure of the effect is what is used in determining whether the art is "abysmal" or "great."
