Aesthete is absolutely the word you're looking for, in my opinion. Shoutout to bhrgunatha. EDIT: I am this. I have highly-developed opinions about (almost) everything that matters (to me). This allows me to profess dedication or admiration to subcategories instead of whole subjects. I like Impressionism, not Art. Etc. The point isn't that I only like one kind of art, it's that I have a definite and refined preference for or against every kind of art. I think everyone should aim for this mode of thought, because it goes hand in hand with knowledge and experience.
