What is the relationship between why an artist made something and that work means to the rest of us?

An artist usually makes up something because they have a story to tell behind it or they are drawing a piece because it’s a blob of their emotions. When people look at their work, they’re assuming a story behind it and come up with things to fit into it although it may not be the artists story, it still means something.

Hope this helped

Idon’t understand the question

Is there a question?
