Art should primarily be
for our enjoyment,
not interpretation.

Jonathan Jones said in the article "The Joy of Cubism",

…if you can relax your gaze enough and just enjoy the painting long enough, something really amazing happens: a chemistry in your process of perception produces a solid feeling of the things Picasso was looking at, that he was touching with his brain ‒ the fruit, the bottle, the newspaper, the cafe table. A place and a time swim darkly into view; the world is revealed in its majesty. And this is fun."
