I don’t have a strong visual sense, the way I have a well-developed appreciation for music, or even literature. I don’t know “how” to look at art, yet sometimes I’ll see a work and find it quite affecting. Maybe that’s enough.

Joe, are you sure you can't think of something? Maybe Modernist, Postmodern, Graphic?

@Daniel Well, now that I think of it, sure, I do like a lot of artists. Bosch, Durer, Van Gogh, Rothko, Nevelson, Klee, Krasner, and probably a dozen others whose names don’t occur to me right now. I guess I can appreciate them without knowing how their technique works.

That's how I am! I'm no art history expert.

Reminded me of a painting I photographed in Bowes Museum last year, from the same era.
Small among the grandest of Gainsborough and Canaletto, and I can't recall the artist, but it really caught my attention.
