Especially early on. Sometimes you need to engage
your mind to improve your gut. Even after nearly 50 years of buying artwork, I often have to learn more about a piece before I “get it” and am excited by it, regardless
of the style or period.
Push yourself to grow. Expect different reactions
to different works, ie, don’t keep looking for the same boyfriend over &
over. How dull would a whole house of that be???
Art can excite you, calm you, challenge you,
disturb you, entertain you, tickle you, fulfill your aesthetic longing for
beauty, remind you of some event, of someone or some place, intrigue you, mystify you.
Art CHANGES the way you see the world.
It’s not always about just looking good!
So rule #3: Move out of your comfort zone.
