In this blog we will be exploring the ideas presented in the quote presented above. We hope to show how interpretation has the tendency to lessen art and to force the reader/viewer to contemplate the implications of this. Why do we interpret? What is the point of interpretation? how do we change the artist's intentions to fit our own wants? How do form and content interact with one another when interpretating art? What is lost when art is reduced to only its content and its interpretation? Does the artist's intentions have any bearing on our interpretations? Do multiple interpretations of the same work mean art it is unmanageable? Is interpretation necessary to enjoy art?

By posing these questions we hope to cause the reader/viewer to question their motivations for interpretation and to help them to view art in its purest form.
