"Much of abstract work that relies on evoking an emotional response in the viewer does this independently of what the artist intended - as such and therefore is very much a collaborative effort with some of the heavy lifting actually done by the viewer. That gives the viewer more power and allows them to approach the work in a more emboldened manner - even to the point of viewing the work at any angle, freed from the angle it was originally composed and painted in."
from Moni Schifler Azank's essay
