Some people believe that to truly understand and appreciate abstract art one must study its creator. This belief assumes the artist's life experiences were expressed on the canvas.

Art, however, is meant to be experienced by the individualeach person's reaction should be built on his or her own experiences. This is the beginning of a longer essay.
