The idea that art requires education to appreciate is what leads to trash like Pollock and Rothko in the first place. Art for all of the centuries before the 20th was able to be appreciated by everyone, everywhere, and suddenly it became an elite, academic institution where the height of intellectual achievement was being able to "appreciate" painting that represented absolutely no subject whatsoever.

Making things that working class people don't like isn't in and of itself intellectual.
