I find your gate keeping to be pretentious.
In my opinion art is what speaks to you. Sometimes context helps, sometimes it hurts, sometimes you derive your own personal feelings about a piece. The only thing that matters is what it says to you.
I enjoy surrealist, abstract and minimalist art a lot because it feels a lot less limiting in meaning and communicates more abstract feelings and ideas to me. Or, that's what I feel when I see it. I don't know, I really enjoy art though. Never been to a gallery before, unfortunately.
