Hmmmm. My eyes are crap too and I'm a trained painter.
It helped me to love art more when I really learned how to analyze it in school. You know, like trying to figure out the motives, meanings and history behind a piece, not just admiring the skill or aesthetic quality. I don't know if this applies to you, but I feel the same way as you feel about art for things that I'm not very schooled in, like dance (which I know you like) or classical music. I just don't have the patience to care really. Also, it sounds like you don't really like classical art, but you like modern art. Maybe you just need to find the style that appeals to you?
I'm a photo-realist (I'm told) kinda guy myself. Almost all my user icons (and the shit in my room) is reality painted as close as it can get to reality. Especially love pictures of technology, duh.
I recently saw sculptures by this guy, Duane Hanson. HOLY MOTHER OF LIVING FUCK. People actually went up to the sculpture of the waitress and ordered food (from some stories I hear).
