the painter and the viewer

I believe that a person's experience can affect his art style, and even the medium he choose. These are the things that makes the ‘content’ of art different. A Cezanne 's oil painting of a self-portrait is definitely different from Leonardo de Vinci's. The way(the medium, the techniques, etc) that the artist chooses to illustrate his work is also considered as part of the artwork. It sends a different message to the viewers as the viewers interpreting the artwork in their own ways of seeing. It makes people understand them differently. It also makes me think that people do see things differently according to what they know and what they believe. We all have different ways of doing things, even a same thing. Sometimes, even the same person can see things in a various point of view. Therefore, semiotics is like the basic rule to follow, although how one sees it is still up to the person.
