This is an unusual approach. It may be worthy to add that some artists intended to some degree that their works should have a factual, scientific effect: The Impressionists were taken up with the scientific enquiry into the structure of light, the prismatic separations, the structure of colors and how the visible world could be represented on the painting surface by corresponding units or dabs of color. So, those artists wanted viewers to understand the effect of light in transmitting what we see. There was a scientific purpose intended , AND THEN SOME : The masterpieces carry more mysterious meanings, as Redon identified.
Indeed, I would say that artists do intend effects, especially if they are the suggestive, complex mysterious incalculable ones so much like our experience of living, like the wonderful celebration of consciousness by Redon .
Excellent. Can pictorial cause and effect exchange duties? If so, is that the cause —or beginning —of interpretation? And does interpretation as a cause-effect process intermingle with pictorial cause and effect?
