Shanken (193-202)

Their were a lot of interesting manifestos that we're interesting to read but the Inventionist Manifesto was tough to read because I did not agree (196). As an artist I'm very sensitive to illusory images because I wonder how they created the piece which pushes me to further sharpen my design skills as an artist. Another part in the Manifesto it states that "there is nothing esoteric in art: those who claim to 'experts' are frauds". I chuckled at this because by saying this no one can interpret art but I feel that representational art can be interpreted but I have trouble interpreting abstract are because it can mean something different to someone else. I'm sure if an artist left a direct meaning of what the abstract piece was supposed to represent this can give us an answer but someone else could still interpret it differently.
