What books will help me not being so much of a simpleton so I can understand stuff like pic related?
The only thing I can say about most art is "it looks cool" unless I start making shit up like "this guy pointing at the light means something related with God bla bla bla or is maybe what he felt when his mom hugged him bla bla bla"

khan academy actually has a great intro to art history course. It won't make you an art critic or anything but at least you'll know the basics and learn the vocabulary. Pic related is a really complex painting
