What do you think makes a masterpiece?
My Answer
Your prose makes the case for a piece, but I argue what makes a master is first? A master originally meant a teacher, not someone deemed skilled above all others. Why does that matter? If a master is a teacher, then a master can be anyone, sequentially, a masterpiece can be any work or piece from anyone. If a master is a teacher than a masterpiece is free to be any work as anyone sees it.
But, if a master is someone deemed skilled above all others. then who determines the skills, through whatever measures, required to be a master is more important than the identity of the master, for said identity is merely matching the skills. But, who determines the skills? In modern human history, all to often those in a populace in humanity who have a financial or militaristic power over other populaces dictate the skills required to be a master. Sequentially, the identity of a masterpiece is always doubted, questioned. Because if a master is someone deemed skilled above all others which can only be determined through a limited perspective only a set in humanity have , then all others have to doubt it, because they don't see the master as legitimate because they don't accept the requirements to master.
So, I accept a master is merely a teacher. And as I have learned and continue to learn from many artists , in said moments of learning, I have been taught and said artists have been teachers, thus masters for a time and the works or pieces they taught me with are masterpieces.
