Basics - Art Gallery Etiquette - How do I react to Art
I don't think I 'get' it.
A good piece of art will produce
some kind of worthwhile experience in the observer. Not all art can create this
experience in everyone, but one should be at least willing to take the time to
look 'deeper' into the art and understand it. Good art tries to communicate
attitudes, ideas, feelings or even the unique cultural experience of other
people. A good artist will also try to advance the art world in presenting a new
way of understanding a certain idea.
I don't like it.
That's okay. It's a good response
to disagree with what people think about certain pieces of art. Each viewer has
a unique perspective on a piece of art, and being unique generally equals being
different. Just try to see what the piece does to you as an individual.
