To say that art without meaning is decoration implies that all art must have meaning.
In some ways, this is true.
Even the most seemingly innocuous image may hold meaning to the person who created it.

To have a deeper understanding of art, its meaning, and creativity, we need to understand that art is more than just a visual expression.
It can also represent an idea, experience, imagination, a thought-provoking subject, or even invoke motivation for the viewer..
We know that art can be misunderstood or misinterpreted.
It happens very often.
That's why we shouldn't choose between the artwork OR the artist's explanation: both are necessary.
But sometimes, the artwork can speak for itself..
Art provides a means to express the imagination in non-grammatic ways that are not tied to the formality of spoken or written language.
Unlike words, which come in sequences and each of which have a definite meaning, art provides a range of forms, symbols and ideas with meanings that are malleable..
It is known through the experience of the audience as well as the intention and expression of the artist.
The meaning is made by all the participants, and so can never be fully known..

Abstract art is open to interpretation, and that is one of the beautiful things about it.
Abstract art doesn't jump out and declare "THIS is what I'm all about." Instead, abstract art requires you to have an open, inquiring mind; you must enter the painting and see where it takes you..
For modernists, "abstract" means "non-objective" or "non-representational" or "non-figurative".
For them, abstract means that which does not have any meaning outside of itself..
Abstract art is art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality but instead uses shapes, colours, forms and gestural marks to achieve its effect..
Brush Strokes – abstract art.
Spontaneous Emotional Ejection has been compared to abstraction without meaning, or meaning without reason.
Abstract paintings are often hard to get your head around because they don't depict anything real – not a person, not a place, not a thing.Jul 20, 2021.
Abstract art is art that does not attempt to represent an accurate depiction of a visual reality but instead uses shapes, colours, forms and gestural marks to achieve its effect.
Strictly speaking, the word abstract means to separate or withdraw something from something else..

Quote by Keith Haring: “Art has no meaning because it has many meanings”.
Art cannot be defined, they say, because the things we have called art do not all have a distinctive feature in common.
If they did, we could say that any new work containing that feature is a work of art, and any work without that feature is not a work of art..
Black Roberts and Mohrbacher seem to be insisting that art can’t be reduced to the mechanical. It is a human activity
Intended to connect people and inspire emotions
Desires
And thoughts that are common to all of us. It’s why Shakespeare can never be replaced by a chatbot or Michaelangelo by Midjourney.
Art doesn't have to be about anything to be good. In fact
The easier it is to say what a work is about
The less interesting that work becomes. The greatest art takes a lifetime to understand; the slightest takes a moment. And if it really is reducible to an explicit message
Is it actually art at all?
But
Mohrbacher also noted the downsides of totally stripping the human mind from the artistic process. Images unguided by the mind lack the essential ingredient to meaning:Narrative. He said
People crave something beyond just an amalgam of aesthetic styles:
There must be some narrative. What was the thought behind the art?
This is because all human activity has some meaning
So even if the artist says the art has no meaning
The no meaning – is the actual meaning of the art. When a person views the art
Their subconscious will give them an interpretat ion of the art. When an artist says that their artwork has no meaning – the no meaning – is their meaning.

If they aren’t an artist, they find an artist that represents their aesthetic—following and purchasing them. Creators are still in the driver’s seat. The story behind the art is important, not just the technical skill.” For Mohrbacher, people don’t just want cool-looking images, or at least not at the level of their deepest desires.

Concept in philosophy
The body without organs is a fuzzy concept used in the work of French philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari.The concept describes the unregulated potential of a body—not necessarily human— without organizational structures imposed on its constituent parts
Operating freely.The term was first used by French writer Antonin Artaud in his 1947 play To Have Done With the Judgment of God
Later adapted by Deleuze in his book The Logic of Sense
And ambiguously expanded upon by himself and Guattari in both volumes of their work Capitalism and Schizophrenia.
