in order to really appreciate art, you have to understand it. for example, to really appreciate lets say a painting, you first should know some concepts and techniques of painting, then you will be truly amazed at what the artist did to amaze you. also, if you dont know much about how the artist amazed you but you still think it looks amazing, then that piece is said to have natural beauty.
note to readers – pleese reply about your distinction between understanding art and its natural beauty…i need to know more than the stuff above!

Well like you said, Art can not be experienced before it is understood. Why the artist did what they did, what are they trying to represent, the concept.. However both art and natural beauty express emotional, sensory, appeal and represent reality in a way that allows for recognition of its meaning.
true…thx
