By “pass by”, do you mean ignore?

That’s a tougher question for me than it first appears. In fact I genuinely cannot recall what I will reject outright. There’s plenty that I can tell you I prefer, but unless I find the work particularly repulsive, I tend to forget the stuff to which I’m indifferent.

I tend not to linger over the medieval paintings or anything too modern and abstract, although I make exceptions in both categories.

There isn’t a specific artist I avoid, but there are specific styles that I find less interesting, like abstract expressionism. Abstract works have to really catch my eye for me to want to bother looking closely at them and reading about the work. If I see a wall of art that all looks very similar, I may ignore it. If I see something that looks “kitschy” I ignore it as well.
