There is the subjective element which would be innate talent. Some may disagree, especially with controversial figures who pushed boundaries of what has been broadly accepted as “art.”

Then, there is the matter of technical proficiency. The craftsmanship, is it compelling? Is there beauty in the execution, regardless of subject matter? Even with an idiot savant such as Jackson Pollock I'd have to agree, there's another one who may have thought he was pulling one over on the bourgeoisie but actually did have talent despite himself. Those paint splatters display some very sophisticated compositional elements, fractals, even abstract visual representations of Fibonacci numbers.

I don't believe anyone could say that about the painting in question, not now and not in the future.
