Good taste in art is always subjective. What is good taste in art for me may not be for you and what is good taste in art for you may not be for me.

Try reading the 18th C philosopher David Hume's book On Taste. There was a whole debate back then about which organ of the body was responsible for good or bad taste

I agree with Harvymack 1336's statement. That being said, I would bring history and culture to the mix. In the Terminal Classic Period, artisans in the Mayan culture created numerous monolithic phallic sculptures. In Washington DC, statues that were commissioned in the 20th century have been covered due to morality concerns and considered by some to be in bad taste. Your perception of taste depends on what you bring to the work. It will always be subjective so you will have to make that determination for your self. What you decide will be your answer!

Good taste, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder.

Good taste is sometimes hard to find. But once you find it, wow. For example a painting that comes out to you, a photograph, that speaks volumes, a sculptor that is breath taking, etc.

Good taste is the contrary of bad taste. For example, "Painter's ****" is VERY bad taste !
