The Psychology of a Painting

-

Art should make the observer think. However, the thought provoked by the painted image is subject to the perspective of the individual. 

Based on our experience and exposure, we may behold the same image and interpret it differently. That is the beauty of art. It means different things to different people. Profound art evokes different emotions in each of us for the same reason. 

If you produce art that is loved by all or hated by all, you have failed as an artist. The first duty of an artist is to challenge us to think.
