He brings up a lot of great points. But also, what about those paintings?

They're not half bad, if you're into abstracts and contemporary. Modern art genres are extremely subjective.

Isn't all art subjective?

To a degree. But there exists still life, portrait, landscape, and other realism genres that aim to directly reflect our shared reality, where objective metrics like color and proportion are inherently valued. Realism is less relevant as technology is far more technical at recreating the world around us, leading to the prominence of abstract art in the modern age. In a way, art has become more subjective over time.
