Mando: No list of right reasons that I know of. On the other hand,
reading/hearing about "Las Meninas" by Velasquez, added to both my liking
and appreciation of the painting. Through understanding more of what I was
seeing, and recognizing the thinking that must have gone into the
presentation of the artist's perception led me to enjoy/vaule the painting
more than i would have without the added knowledge. That may not apply in
every case, it's true.

Is a list of the the "right" reasons really important?
Is there such a list"

My notion of the "appreciating as art" is following William's nested
types of
discourse -- for the philosophy, theory, and criticism of art.
But it's only part of the ordinary practice of art appreciation -
especially
as the docent is sharing her enthusiasm for something... and the
receptive
audience is trying to share that enthusiasm as well as learn the proper
reasons for it.
Doesn't everyone want to actually enjoy the right things -- as well as
know
the right reasons?
It improves self image and social status -- as one who is both sensitive
and
well educated - so art appreciation is also a kind of socialization.
