I've been reading a lot of books about stuff I know/knew nothing about.

One of the books I read was "What Are You Looking At?: 150 Years of Modern Art
in the Blink of an Eye", by Will Gompertz[0].

It's fantastic! The book is great at making you "get" art, and it's
significance. Art is not so much about "emotion" as it is about showing and
telling the same things in a different way. Or just doing something completely
different!

art can take any form, from poking the viewer to challenge misconceptions and
beliefs to anything else. it can be a series of photos of you dropping
something sacred and valuable or just a really well done drawing that tool a
lot of time and skill.

art is also like music, if there is ANY music you like, then there is an ART
you will like.

last. don't feel weird not getting or liking art. you are coming at it from
wrong angle.

You're trying to look at art as it is, but you should _learn to see_ art as
_you are_.

I happen to think that a lot of people don't feel "emotions" when "viewing
art" because the art that's obviously available is either totally irrelevant
to your life (e.g. bourgeois portraits of rich people from the 1600s, vivid
scenes from places you've never been, full of religious symbolism) or totally
alienated in the special contemporary way (performance art, most of the random
crap made by self-absorbed young

 I find to think that a lot of people don't feel " emotions " when " viewing 
 art " because the art that's obviously available is either totally irrelevant 
 to your life (e.g. bourgeois portraits of full-bodied people from the 1600s, graphic 
 scenes from places you've never been, full of religious symbolism) or totally
