You won't get into art unless you get something out of it, so I would say that the 0th piece of advice is: if you aren't getting anything out of a piece of art, leave it alone for now. Why? Because you aren't under any obligation to force yourself to 'get it', and you can always come back to it later, when it might make sense. Or not. This does not mean you shouldn't step outside your comfort zone, or challenge yourself, or anything like that. What I mean is, people bash their heads against this stuff, and it does no good. Just step away, accept another challenge, and keep going. In terms of a specific source: I have been reading Arts & Letters Daily for something like 25 years (!), it's a great aggregator of news and stories you can use to discover things and branch out from there. https://www.aldaily.com/ https://www.aldaily.com/
