the main thing I learned from working in a public art gallery for two and a half years is: people get mad when they feel like they don't "get" the art. it's an insult to their sense of self worth. and then they yell at the nearest person to assert their importance in the world.
The only base knowledge you need for any art is "can i let myself be open to the thing the art makes me feel?" Thats the only base we need.

I can’t agree with that. I guess on a really base level you could look at any artwork and say “it makes me feel...” something (confused?), but some works have a deeper meaning if you understand the context in which they were made, other works the artist was referencing, etc etc

Right, but the point is you don't NEED the deeper. The base feeling is (more than) enough.
