And if you understand, but do not agree with the message of the author?
I understand a lot, but not love. And you can understand and remain indifferent.
Is not it?

No. Do not know. Do not necessarily agree with the author's promise to love his work.
I prefer to think that if I do not like it, something I do not understand. Another thing is that sometimes I do not want to understand.

Generally, in a sense, from himself, of course, can not escape. But the training of eye, ear, in my opinion, very important.
Once again give an example (I'm a man given): what attracts painting quite inexperienced person? First of all, the plot and what is drawn "as a living, grass - green, sky blue, everyone will know at a glance. The next stage - more or less surrealistic painting, often sliding just a "fantasy": "skill" there, and painted a strange and weird things, there must be some food for interpretation (the man is inherent literary relationship to painting, as in Russia, this tradition In my opinion, especially the tenacious). Well, and so on. It is much harder to estimate net art, whether it is figurative, but in which the plot is purely an auxiliary function, or abstract. It is not surprising that in a world far more fans Dali and Delvaux (and this is in the best case), rather than by Zurbaran, Chardin or Monticelli, of which very few people know.

Same thing can be said about music and literature. I will not be distributed, so as not to flood, but easy to understand things like immediately, in order to love, say, "Pale Fire", you need to work more than if you read, I do not know, Hemingway.

In general, all of this to finish the banal: without work and not catch fish from the pond
