Joy Garnett is trying to say that art is for everyone to interpret how they wish. Susan Meisela is saying that her art has meaning, a purpose and it is for her to decide how it is interpreted and what it means. Hmmm. I don't think anyone can control how others perceive their actions or words. I also believe that people should not control how others view their art. It would be the same as being in a gallery and having the artist stand there and tell you all about the artwork, what they were feeling, what it means to them, and where they stand to look at it. And then telling you, that you had to feel, think and stand in the same scenario as them. No, they can tell you, but you shouldn't have to listen.
I do believe that the painter should ask permission from the photographers before she starts painting, but I do not believe Susan should have been so appalled for the reasons that she was.
