I’m no scholar, but I’ve watched enough films to pick up on some homage, visual references, techniques in music/dialogue/photography, etc. The more movies you watch, the more connections you can make, and it just gets more exciting over time
I’ve been wondering if it’s possible to expand my interest in movies to include other kinds of art

I also enjoy looking at paintings, murals, portraits and other kinds of ‘static’ art, but those universes seem so much more old and vast and inaccessible I just don’t know nearly enough art history to really understand what any of it *means*

Most of the time I’m just impressed because it looked really difficult or time consuming to create This is especially true if I’ve spent time working in a medium before (e.g. I gained more appreciation for ceramic arts after taking pottery lessons)

But for most ’museum art’, I generally tend to use detail or scale as a proxy for quality So far this has been a mostly functional heuristic for enjoying art and talking about it with similarly uninformed people

Still, it feels a little soulless to think about art this way I’m sure there are communities on Twitter, YouTube, Reddit, Instagram, Tumblr dedicated to fine art history—might be time to do a little exploring
