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 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
