「We must remember, however, that art is of value only to the extent that it speaks to us.
It might be a universal language if we ourselves were universal in our sympathies.
Our finite nature, the power of tradition and conventionality, as well as our hereditary instincts, restrict the scope of our capacity for artistic enjoyment.
Our very individuality establishes in one sense a limit to our understanding; and our aesthetic personality seeks its own affinities in the creations of past.
It is true that with cultivation our sense of art appreciation broadens, and we become able to enjoy many hitherto unrecognised expressions of beauty.
But after all, we see only our own image in the universe,-our particular idiosyncrasies dictate the mode of our preceptions.
The tea-masters collected only objects which fell strictly within the measure of their individual appreciation.」 ( From the Book of Tea-Art Appreciation,pp.83-84, Charles E, Tuttle Co., Rutland, Vermont, Tokyo, Japan)
After all, the art appreciation is depend on individual sensitivity.
It is not the matter of knowledge, but your creative resonance to the art.
