art is "subjective"...do you mean the evaluation of art is subjective? Necessarily? As in "I think a doodle of Mickey mouse is as good as the the Mona Lisa" is an inherently valid opinion? Does this mean all art is good (or bad)?

Wouldn't a subjective evaluation of art be more of a case by case basis rather than an absolute sum of good or bad? Images presented in art are usually meant to evoke emotion and response from the viewer. Attaching valuation to the artistic piece is determinant by the individual, and that individuals importance or influence in a larger group would dictate the general response.
Thusly, the validity of the opinion would be left to the viewer in general, although that may be moderated by prior viewers.
