Dont be absurd!

Being a continuation of the statement (and construction) of the principles of nurealizt thought.
You guys didn’t think I was serious did you? Well I was and am, we are, even though it was a giant joke. I laugh at all the most serious things in life. Get used to it.
Art is, or should be, for everyone. Ideas are alive. They are real things that express themselves through people who will love them enough to work to bring them into material reality. They sing for whoever will listen, dance for whoever will watch.
Every interpretation of a work of art is valid because Ideas speak to different people in different languages. If you see something in a painting that no one else saw, that was the painting’s message for you alone. That was the Idea translating itself through your mind, through your unique awareness. That was your own Idea translating itself into your awareness through the painting.
It is possible no one else will ever see it exactly the same way even if you describe it perfectly. Another person may see something completely different, and maybe you talk about it, and maybe now you both see something that you didn’t see before and have learned something about your own minds you didn’t know. Ideas love to dress up in other people’s clothes. That’s what art is for.
Don’t be a snob. Don’t think you know what art is, even if you are an artist or expert critic or art school teacher and you don’t think of anything else all day long. There is an Idea out there capable of making nonsense of your preconceptions. Then again, your preconceptions are part of what forms your current perception, and the channel through which the art will be translated for you, and that is valid also. But you will see more with you mind open.
I do not neccesarily attribute everything I see to the artists intentions.
An Idea can be expressed through any willing person, may be expressed by many people, and may encompass many details, all while getting to one specific point, which may take a lot of examining to find. That point may be utterly missed by the artist's conscious awareness. Maybe all the artist thought was, "this would look cool" but somehow the image created struck a relevant chord with everyone who viewed it. Maybe a slightly different chord with each person, but weaving over time a whole symphony of associations.
I think that it is important to recognize that over time the way a particular work of art is viewed is changed by the insights expressed by the different viewers. This is is very important in my opinion because it suggests to me that art is co-created by the people who see it, think about it, and talk about it, that it continues to grow and mature in its being as it is exposed to more attention.
Think about the Mona Lisa and its famous "mysteriousness". Suppose Da Vinci wasn't going for mystery. Thats what everyone saw. Is it even possible to see the painting for itself without those associations coloring your view? More importantly, did any two people experience exactly the same thing? A new variation on that Idea was created in the mind of every person who looked at it. Isn't that neat?
It doesnt matter what the artist intends. Ideas are alive and they do what they want. Your brothers and sisters here at the nuclear realizt school of looking and seeing want you to have as many as you can, and cultivate your own creativity to give them a good, fertile place to take root and grow.
