13 Enjoying Art There is no accounting for taste! What one person enjoys may leave another person cold, and that is quite OK: people come to a piece of art (painting, sculpture, dance, music ...) with different bodies of experience, and there's the point: as with creating art, there is something inside the person that the work links to --- or perhaps not: "It may be a famous piece but it didn't do anything for me." On the positive side, enjoyment may come at once or gradually --- "At first it left me a bit cold but after a few times, I got more of a feeling from it." The work of art doesn't change, but the viewer gradually finds what it is in themselves that the work relates to. In such a case, pleasure increases --- the work plus the viewer's interior notions yield joy.
