Reply to comment by Ydlmgtwtily in I drew this pixel art scene using 12 colors and called it "desecration" [OC] by v78

That's how art works

Nope.

Art is about interpretation, subjectivity, experience.

You don't slap art in someone's face and tell them what to see.

Uh huh. What's the name of Leonardo Da Vinci's most famous piece, the one that's in the Louvre?

Excellent example!

  1. A name that isn't telling you what to think. In fact, many would posit that the subtleties in the peice which enable such fundamental disagreement between it's appreciators, have a great deal to do with it's popularity.

  2. Piece was named, as all great art, by collectors, not by artist, and given a name that attempts to factually describe the subject. See: Van Gogh's Wheatfield With Crows or Sunflowers. If either of these were named for an emotion like "Longing" or "Nostalgia" they would instantly loose all mystery and dimension.

How about you get enough clout to start naming pieces and then you can rename this one instead of pissing in the wind at some random ass pixel artist?

Why on earth would I want to start naming pieces?

You seem to think you have much better ideas than the person who drew it, why NOT do something with that instead of just passive aggressively bitching about it in front of them?
