Abstract Art

Abstract art is an art form that I have never really fully been able to grasp. After reading the chapter with Clive Bell I still don't fully think I have come to terms with it. But after class the other day I now better understand the importance of interpreting the meaning of what the artist had intended, especially considering that there is so much emotion put into such a piece of work. Like any piece of art there are many different ways to interpret it. I feel that abstract art leaves more space though for interpretation. Do you think abstract art or perhaps even art provides a lot of room for interpretation of the emotions and the meaning behind it?
