It is all about the work of art. The beauty, the color, the composition; these are all important, but the work of art itself, alone, is what matters. Forget the name, forget the concept, forget about who the artist is. Look at the work of art and allow it to move you. Let it inspire a thought, an emotion, a meditation. Like it. Hate it. Buy it, love it, or simply walk away from it. Judge it objectively in a subjective way, and appreciate it, or don't. In the end it doesn't matter.
