Only someone who has looked at a lot of paintings and done some background reading can begin to appreciate nuance.

Possibly. I don't think a Rembrandt would look like a Rorschach blot to anyone, well-read or not.

I do confess to a certain suspicion of scholarship; a consequence, doubtless, of a childhood spent among scholars.

I also confess that where visual arts are concerned, I prefer works that engage the emotions to those which engage the intellect.

All a question of taste, which of course varies a great deal. For example, I simply can't abide Tom Wolfe, and would gladly trade his entire body of work for a single story by Borges.

If we all liked the same things, it would be a boring world.
