spelling mistakes, mass emails and questions

The following post is actually an email I sent out to friends.


So here is my question to those inclined to offer their two cents,I'm hoping you will.
A friend said something of great interest to me recently when he was looking at an image I sent him.

He said

"it makes me question the subject"

I found this such a fascinating reply. For me, I have always wondered how I viewed art.By art, I mean art in all it's different shapeshifting forms, whether it be, pianting, music, words, sculpture, photos..etc.

I wondered if I view it "correctly" do I ask myself the right questions, how do I feel and if I am looking at it right. Obviously there is not a right or wrong way to look at it, is there? I often think that others are so far more advanced then me when it comes to art, apprecaiting it, understanding it, getting it, knowing what is being said, felt and all that good yummy stuff that seems to escape me when others ask me what I thought? I freeze at questions like that.Thinking if I answer I will either do two things,

Sound like an idiot or
Say something wrong and offend.

Should I be questioning everything I look at? If so what types of questions should I be asking? Do I ask myself or do I ask the artist? If I ask the artist, should they tell me the answers?
Do we really have to question everything, can something be looked at and just be understood or better left mysterious, left for us to make up our own minds with many interpretations and stories?

Any thoughts are appreciated.I promise i wont post them to any blog or website, unless you want me too.
