Re: What makes art Good
"Art mocks verbal definition." - T. W. Adorno
What makes Art good is an even more challenging question.
Art is most likely to be considered good when it stands firm against critique. The more critique it survives the better the Art. This critique is mostly based on theory: philosophical, sociohistorical, aesthetical, etc... Thus, any good artwork has to have a considerable basis in its theory and history, but if an artwork is purely based on those then it stands against its own concept; the antithesis of the empirical. Therefor, a certain degree of intuition is involved in the making of Art, but good Art cannot be fully intuitable since then it contradicts its own metaphysical question of what Art is and negates its own rationality.

Re: What makes art Good
But are we, then, in danger of relativizing art and consecuently devaluing it, as others have suggested? No, because it is not so significant that we establish what art is for everyone, but rather it is significant that we share something with others regarding what l, or you, find captivating about the artwork, and.thus possibly usher a revelation within them and give them a.glimpse of our inner life.
The revelation of art within ourselves is opening of the possibility of relation with fellow man.
