artistic effect

While this is often a description attributed to mediocre work as justification for its existence, artistic effect literally refers to the way a particular piece of art will alter the state of mind of an observer.

Some art is created exclusively for artistic effect. Blue Panel is a painting that fits into this category. Some "art" is so straightforward and logical that it achieves negligible effect. Still other art strikes a balance between content and artistic effect.

Art defies categorization, however; good art may be found in any of these three categories, or some unmentioned (outside or in-between) category.

In the interest of artistic effect, we will conclude with the following quote: "ice picks behind needles of guardian bliss; however naught, besides Howard."
