St. cronin: I would agree with you. But, there is no single meaning and that's crucial. Each audience member interprets a work's meaning differently based on their own history, prejudices, emotional state, etc. That's why I don't believe it's beneficial for the audience to try to please the audience. That attempt demands a singular experience and I don't believe that exists. The best the artist can do is provide a perspective and allow the audience to experience it.
