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.

@Ponderable
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. 😊

My short answer would be "no" Like chess, there would always be another layer of understanding deeper than what you can comprehend.

women have more inbred culture than men, because they were raised to think like females..
