    No, I don't think so at all.
    I don't think that there always has to be a story or an emotion behind art. Sometimes people just create things because they like to create things. Sometimes people create things simply because they feel like it. People don't always have some message they're trying to throw out there or some emotion they're trying to get across.

    Stories and feelings and nice. I'm not saying they're not. I'm just saying that art doesn't always have to have a point.

    Besides, art is all relative, essentially, isn't it? What's art to you may not be art to me and vice versa, so who's to say art can or can't have meaning?

    Must Art have a meaning? Everything does... The fact that it's art gives it meaning alone, Life is Art, Art is Life...
    Even if the artist doesn't give his or her work any special meaning, the viewer probable will...

    But that's just what i think.,..
