to hell with 'open to interpretation'

they like to leave art 'open to interpretation'.
poetry too.
works of art in general.
fuck that.
i have always had an issue with that.
i don't want to interpret, that will just be reinforcing my own perspective.
what then is the point of seeing something new? encountering something different and fresh?
i want to know what the artist had in mind, the precise thoughts and feelings and intentions that were poured into the creation of the work.
that will mean much much more,
than simply, lazily, sloppily asking people to interpret stuff. no?
