Echoing some of my recent discussions on TE, an added perspective with this text excerpt found on the Internet...
Art of perception and art of understanding
Besides the need to create pieces of art, human beings have the primordial need to consume pieces of art created by other people. Again, this need is not primarily aimed at bringing positive emotions. Delight is a reward, but it is not a cause.
People need other people’s art for self-improvement. The pieces of art help them to achieve self-perfection, i.e. they improve their souls. People do not try to understand the author — first of all, they try to understand themselves. Any piece of art is born twice. It is born for the first time, when the author finishes creating it. It is born for the second time in the souls and minds of the audience. In this sense, perception can be considered as co-creation.
The author’s message may be understood or it may remain without an interpretation. It is not very important, because this factor is secondary. When the process of creation is completed, a piece of art starts to exist independently. First, it helps other people to understand themselves. Second, it helps them to understand each other.

Essential here must be the right framing. It makes the difference...
