How about we look at it this way. Sometimes explaining Art deprives one the benefit of thinking out a more self soothing compliment. I am deprived of feeling 'my own way' about the picture because you have explained 'your own way' of looking at the picture. But again, if nothing is said of a picture by anyone, we do not really understand the effect it leaves in our individual minds. We see in parts and so we must all speak our view? Thanks for the beautiful explanation by the way. And the way you illustrated the relationship with the art of smoking is .... Thanks again!
