"Normally, people’s reactions to art are considered subjective — Munch’s
The Scream might instill a foreboding anxiety in you, but do absolutely
nothing for your friend. However, artist Wassily Kandinsky feels that
abstract art, what people would perhaps consider the most emotionally
subjective form of art, is actually completely objective. He suggests
that the emotional objectivity of abstract art lies in the
characteristics of the colors and their interactions with one another.
This would mean it can be taught to a computer."
