Can you appreciate someone else's art while having no appreciation for your own?

Yes, but the million dollar question is.... Why don't we have that appreciation for are own art?
I really do love seeing someone's talent and them being so proud and happy! Too cool!
.... sometimes we are our worst critics.

{@breezeybree2] suppose if you appreciate what you see other produce and it is pleasing to the eye you can

Of course you can. The reason artists are unable to appreciate their own art is that they are, typically, perfectionists. They never want to stop working the piece. They can't let go.

Yes :) .... not in an absolute sense, but in degrees.

With someone else's art you are usually unaware of the artist's self doubts and compromises, or mistakes that were painted over, or maybe the need for $$ ... and the need to get it sold trumped their need to achieve perfection.

But you do know all that stuff about your own art :)

Absolutely

Sure. Take a look at Monet's water lilies or just about any Van Gogh or Caravaggio. It's easy to appreciate genius in art while knowing I'll never produce anything within lightyears of it.

Yes. I do it all the time.
But in my case, my art is actually not very worthwhile so it makes it easier.
😋

I can appreciate both

Surely, I am not good at arts.

Yes, why not?

Yes

Yes

Yep

We are our own worst critics.
