Does the creator or the audience determine the meaning of a work of art?

You're viewing a single thread.
Both, and also neither. The creator can have their own vision, the collective crowd can have their own, but you as an individual can have an interpretation outside of either of those. And none are any more valid than the rest.
I disagree. The vision of the creator is the only one that can't be denied. The entire world can have their own but only one brought it to existence.
