Here's another one for you though - Is it bad because it fails to execute/convey its intent? I think it is slightly different than your first. I think it's possible to elicit emotions from your audience by accident, especially if you are not an experienced craftsman. But those emotions are like hitting a target you shot at in the dark. You can get something out of people if you try hard enough, but a truly good artist should be able to say, "I am going to make a sad piece," and make a piece that has that effect on people. So a) I think good art has intent behind it; and b) I think good art is able to convey that intent.
