The criterion for understanding an art exhibition is to understand a single painting
When faced with a plethora of art exhibitions, it would be better to try establishing an aesthetic coordinate system by focusing on a single painting from the local to the overall, instead of getting anxious about not understanding them.
Aesthetics begins with the gaze on details. Observing a painting from a local perspective can be divided into three dimensions: Firstly, understand the picture itself, such as the character layout in Manet's "Luncheon on the Grass", the breathing sensation of colors in Zao Wou-Ki's abstract paintings; Secondly, pay attention to the combination of the frame and the work, such as the use of gilding frames in classical oil paintings to enhance the narrative sense, and the preference for minimalist black frames in contemporary works to highlight purity; Finally, notice the correspondence between the wall color and the work, such as the use of dark gray walls in the Louvre to contrast with the mysteriousness of "Mona Lisa", and the use of soft beige in Yoshitomo Nara's exhibition to highlight the innocence of the brushstrokes.
This observation and combination can also be applied to home spaces. Starting with choosing a main visual artwork, customize the colors of curtains and carpets according to the main color tone of the painting, use the material of the frame to echo the style of furniture, and in addition to the conventional rules for choosing frames, even calligraphy and works on paper can also be considered with frames of different European styles. Choosing walls and floors with low saturation can make the painting the visual focus, and then form color echoes through green plants, lighting, and objects.
The value of visiting an exhibition does not lie in understanding everything, but in cultivating the ability to "insight". When you can extend from the brushstrokes of a painting to the color scheme of the space, and from the proportion of the frame to the size of the furniture, aesthetics can be restructured from vision to space. Artworks will then have practical value.

看懂藝術展的標准，是看懂壹幅畫
面對琳琅滿目的藝術展，與其陷入“看不懂”的焦慮，不如嘗試用“壹幅畫”建立審美坐標，從局部到整體。
美學，始于對細節的凝視，聚焦壹幅畫的觀察可分三個維度：首先了解畫面本身——馬奈《草地上的午餐》的人物布局，趙無極抽象畫的色彩呼吸感；其次關注畫框與作品的搭配，比如古典油畫常用鎏金框強化敘事感，當代作品則偏愛極簡黑框凸顯純粹性；最後留意牆面色彩與作品的呼應，盧浮宮用深灰牆面襯托《蒙娜麗莎》的神秘，奈良美智展用柔和米色突出童真筆觸。
這種觀察和搭配可以參考到家居空間。從選擇壹件主視覺藝術品開始，根據畫作的主色調定制窗簾、地毯的色彩層次，用畫框材質呼應家具風格，除了常規的畫框選擇規則，甚至書法及紙上作品也可以考慮歐洲不同時期風格的畫框。牆面與地面選擇飽和度低的，可以讓畫作成爲視覺焦點，再通過綠植、燈光與器物形成色彩呼應。
觀展的價值不在于看懂全部，而在于培養“洞察”的能力。當你能從壹幅畫的筆觸延伸到空間配色，從畫框比例聯想到家具尺寸，審美便實現了從視覺到空間的重構。藝術品也就具備使用價值了。
