There are people who create art and others that comment on the artist’s creations. The commentator has other interests and different ways of expressing them than the creator. The artist expresses through the visible and tangible artwork, the commentator through abstract play of words with their subjective understanding of the artwork. Analysing an art object with words and academic logic may start series of literature engaging whole societies of scholars who enjoy each other’s capacity for examining and describing the implications of the art work in the absence of the art object itself and its creator. There rises a whole industry of words and their interpretation, and finally the art object belongs to them in the sense that they have created the base and the environment from where the art object has to be understood. Without this setting of convincing words and explaining logic the art object itself is nothing.
