That's my angle. Art may not change but my appreciation of it does. If something speaks to me on some level, it's art that I like. If it doesn't then it's art I don't care about. I can go into any art gallery and find 100 pieces of art of all styles that mean nothing to me. I'm looking for the 1 that makes me stop, look and think.
And I'm more about content than style. I would never look at a work of art and be like "meh, that style is so played out". You would never get me to buy a painting of an apple on a table because regardless of the style or who painted it, I don't think I could bring myself to care about that content. But interesting content will still make me stop and look.
