As others have mentioned, Bourdieu would like a word with him https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distinction_(book)

Graham seems to be conflating skill with taste. The artists he mentions are skilled at art and he states that he is not. Distinguishing between skilled and unskilled work may be "good taste" but what is considered good art is more than just skill.
