If you have a lot of culture, you can understand all the Art displayed in a museum...

Well what exactly would constitute "understanding" art?

I claim that if something i s not understandable ias art for a given person it is not art for them...

I understand art, but that doesn't mean I understand it in the way the artist intended (if that plays a role at all) or othres or the cultivated others do.

someone with a lot of culture has studied art and has a formal education in the Arts, so has much better understanding than a "common" person..

"Understanding" is not a word I'd associate with the Art World.

"Interpretation" is.

What speaks to one, in art, may fall upon the deaf ears of another. I mean, by their very nature the discipline and mediums broaden greatly.

I enjoy art history; particularly the Italian Renaissance.

But that doesn't mean I'm limited to just painting and sculpture.

Music is art too. 😊
