There are two kinds of taste: biologically through the tongue, and also psychological preference. In this essay I will explain how these are linked and how the latter develops with experience. Good and bad tastes affect consumption of art because 'good' art usually sells, although it is not the same as popular art. Here, I will look at the masters and how they affected taste during the Renaissance. From this we can see where modern conventions of 'good art' have come from.

For the third part of the question, I believe the 'taste classifies the classifier' can be interpreted in two different ways. It can mean that classifications and judgements are personal decisions, or it can be seen as in knowing the individuals classification of something we are able to classify that individual. In this final part I will argue the ambiguity of the question.

Freudian theory does have a fault though; when a psychoanalyst's study patients, their own subconscious thoughts are present, as I mentioned before with my opinion of tracksuits. Therefore, when Freud believed he could understand the meaning of Da Vinci's paintings, there is no way to tell if he were correct because his own subconscious played part in his explanations. The human mind is not capable of fully understanding another, so the meaning of 'good taste' is a tough one. But I feel in this case looking at it from an outside party, taste is based on common (to ones self) conventions and values, 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder'.

te nicer than the other is an unanswerable question. However this is only one version of taste. What I am interested in is why someone finds a Monet more pleasing to the eye than a poster of a super model, or not. Fashion could make us like something more than another, like peer pressure. I believe that taste is personality, and I understand personality as Sigmund Freud theorized: personality is created from everything that has ever happen to the individual. Monet's art is considered to be 'good art' and popular, because it has so many familiar images in the paintings. When a painting is looked at, light is reflected off the image and into the eye. It is then converted into the brains format, which we visualize in our mind. The brain specifically picks out certain shapes and colours, forms and subjects, as they are different or familiar depending on the individual. The reasons for the brains decision on which images are more attractive than others depend on other people influencing the individual and their environment.

Biological taste follows rules also. If we do not like the taste liver, it is because the subconscious relates that taste to some bad experience/knowledge. For example, the individual may have once eaten liver and felt ill because the chemicals didn't agree with their body. Or, it could be because the individual has been shown/told that liver tastes fowl, therefore the subconscious is relating liver to 'bad taste'. In the case of mental taste, if we hear something is 'good' or fashionable then the mind relates that thing to 'good', this will inspire the conscious to follow up the decision.

This applies to any gestures, accents, comments, jokes, etc. This is because our personalities are developed on experience; in knowing somebody's experiences we are able to generally classif
