How do I build this skill?

I follow this page on twitter and I'm always blown away by their posts and how they're able to make connections with art. I really want to be able to recognize different pieces of art like this and connect it with pop culture. I also saw an interview with the guy that runs this page once and he was able to recognize every single piece of art they showed him off the cuff. Is this a skill anyone can cultivate?

Hi I’m an artist from south korea. I posted a painting I did for my sister, and it got deleted bcuz it was suspected as ai slop. But it’s not! These are some of the studies I did thru the years and I’m also showing you guys my dirty work place 😥 (used to be my sister’s room)

I'm serving in the military now, but I'm going to be active as soon as I'm discharged from the military :)

Side hustles related to art history?

I'm broke af and have no degree but I know a lot about art history which is basically useless in job search ☠️☠️ I'm so desperate to find a job but there's nothing related to art history that doesn't require a degree and it's also impossible to get those jobs without connections. What are some unique side hustles that you've done related to art history? And has knowing a lot of art history helped you find a job?

My favourite painting is back home

On my last few visits this was out on loan somewhere so lovely to see it for the first time in a while and get new things from it. If you visit a second tier place with sought after paintings enough you start to see them move in and out and back to a different spot then they left and see them juxtaposed with different neighbours and that along with the difffences in time of year and in you makes the painting have a slightly different feel than the other times.

Your own personal, across the decades, relationship with a painting.

Intuitive painting meets a couple glasses of wine

I didn't take this one too seriously, just let myself have fun with it before I take on a painting I need to take quite seriously. Thought I'd share!

Here is a video of Philip De Laszlo painting this portrait from the 1920s

What a gift to be able to watch him paint this. I feel like this is the closest we will ever come to having film of JS Sargent creating his paintings. Similar style, no?
