The artist only does half of the work of a painting. The other half is done by the viewer.
Honore Daumier's sketch of the Salon:
"THE VISITOR: – Just look at this senseless arrangement… and these colours!… hideous!
THE ARTIST: – Cretin of a bourgeois… buzz off!
This idea is sometimes referred to as the "beholder's share," a term popularized by art historians Ernst Gombrich (1909-2001) and Ernst Kris (1900-1957).
The beholder is the partner of the creator and is deeply involved in the process of bringing an image to life.
Arnold Böcklin, Isle of the Dead
Images that are more open-ended in their interpretation involve the viewer in a particularly strong way. Ernst Kris said 'Great works are great because they are ambiguous."
Eric Kandel discusses the topic of the beholder's share in this episode of Big Think.
