Welcome to the Cellar, ferfanerd.
Don't worry about Sycamore....he's mostly harmless.
Art is a pretty broad topic but being a non-sophisticated sort, when I see something that's been presented as art, I know imediately if it appeals to me.
I hear people say, "It'll grow on you" but I've found that not the case. Sometimes a piece that I immediately dislike will, in time, become tolerable. But that said, I will never like it.
