No, visual impact does not equal artistic value. While strong visual shock can grab attention and provoke thought—serving as a tool in works like Duchamp's Fountain or Serrano's Piss Christ—it often remains superficial if lacking depth, context, or innovation. True artistic merit encompasses emotional resonance, technical skill, cultural commentary, and lasting influence, not just sensationalism. Over-relying on shock risks empty provocation, as critics note it can become a "trap" prioritizing surface stimulation over meaningful insight.https://www.zgnfys.com/a/nfms-15223.shtml https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_art https://medium.com/@robertkowalski407/the-importance-of-shock-value-in-art-from-monet-to-madonna-58cb883108b5 https://the-artifice.com/shock-art-the-name-says-it-all/
