Be fair to old Tom, he almost single-handedly created a genre of journalism. I don't know if you remember how fresh his early pieces in Harper's were, compared to the grey, formulaic pieces that came before him.

Agree with you about painting. Some people learn to appreciate art in college, and are taught to see things they never would have found out on their own, but you don't need to go to college to learn how to see paintings, you just have to open your eyes. I suspect that the people who learned how to appreciate art in college only see what they were taught, and never learn to see more than they were taught. Otherwise, they never would have waited until college to learn how to see art, would they? It's like being taught how to appreciate poetry or literature in school. If you have to wait until then, you're more likely than not brain dead. No great artist was taught how to be a great artist in college, just as no great writer was taught how to be a great writer in writing school.
