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

I frame museums often like those Frequency Dictionaries that highlight most used words in a foreign language since art there gets positioned like a canon it more easily creates a denominating language/knowledge base that other art references and connects to

Ooh that’s a good way to digest the experience! I often find museums to be overwhelmingly large, so it’s hard to know what artists/pieces/styles I should mentally index for later Couldn’t hurt to spend a lot more hours in museums anyway :)
