Wrong. Art is subjective all the way through. Somewhere out there, someone may think Manos: The Hands of Fate is the greatest movie ever made. While just about every other individual on the planet may disagree with him, we can never actually prove him wrong.
That is a comfortable view that allows people to pretend everybody is equally right about works of art, but it just isn't true. Not everything about art is subjective. We shouldn't cling to handy untruths just because they're handy.
