the intersection between art and perception is fascinating.
An artist creates something with an intent.
An art lover sees something different.
Who is correct?
I think it's a meeting of two perceptions. A skilled artist can create something that elicits a reaction, some emotion, some resonance in the viewer (or reader, in this case). A viewer brings his or her own experience, and feelings, and understanding, thereby adding something to the art.
Perhaps a genius can make something so perfect that the person experiencing it will only "get" the artist's original intent.
But I doubt it.
