Actually it depends on who's looking at it.
For most of us it's all about the idea associated with the art. What it means, the backstory, the explanatory essay pinned to the wall next to the painting etc.
For some of us (mostly artists) it's all about the experience of the art itself.
Because artists see differently from normal people.
