Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Some people genuinely like pealing off meanings of the art piece they are looking at. Others are looking for an immediate emotional connection. Btw Guernica was infinitely criticized when it was created because the audience did not understand it. Now it’s well known and appreciated and -I would dare say- related to, but that is a cultural evolution following the successes of Picasso’s work.
