What ordinary people find particularly attractive might be deemed worthless by experts or critics.
And what ordinary people can't stand to look at, well, experts may call it a masterpiece.

Anyway, as long as it's incomprehensible to people, it's halfway to success.
The other half, of course, is capital. As long as there's someone to hype it up, with real money being thrown in, and all the critics singing praises, then heat it up with some hype, and it's done.
