Ignorance?

A white canvas
with red paint
splashed irregularly
across an obscene
shock of black
towers above me
on the wall
making me feel 
small in stature
and in wisdom
for I lack
what is required
to appreciate
this thing
which greater minds
consider
masterful.

there are a lot of words between ignorance and masterful.
