Flow States and Ugly Art

An example of "Ugly Art."

I have been recently posed the question "Why do you disparage art that you don't like? Is it lack of creative expression that you don't validate?" I think the main thrust of what they were trying to say was isn't any creative effort worthwhile? Why are you being so critical of something that you don't like? I think that I discovered the answer today while reading a book called the organized mind. It proposed that in order to be most likely to enter into a flow state one must have a sufficiently difficult challenge for one's skill level and one that is also not too easy. This flow state is most often arrived at by those who are domain experts. A domain expert is someone who has a lot of training and practice at the particular skill that they are going into the flow state over. This was the crux of my argument regarding ugly art. A true work of art requires being in a flow state doing peak work with one's self maximally involved in doing an individuals best work. This can only happen when you are a domain expert. Meaning that you have trained and possess great skill in the art. This can only come from years of practice. In my opinion, you are most likely to excel at exciting people with a single stroke of blue paint executed in your flow state when you have first trained yourself to some great extreme in the arts, in this case, painting. You then have merged it with your life experience and you are creating something new. New fresh art should make an impact not be unprepossessing.
