love at first sight

The gallery attendants are given lots of information to read before the show so they can talk to the visitors about the works. They told me that even after reading the information, there are still some works that they are unable to connect to. When they are giving group tour, they would swiftly direct them away from those works that they do not have know too much about or want to know too much about. I laughed loudly when I heard it.

I remember there are a few works that I do not enjoy looking at. So I stopped reading about what they are. When I show my friends around the gallery, it is a very selective tour.

Will you do something like that as well? Decide which works need to look into than other works by the first sight? Is it a not responsible art viewers just discard the works by the first look? What do you do when the works are not aesthetically pleasing to you? Does aesthetic play an important role when you view works?
