   Hidden meaning of a picture is important for the artist. Whoever interpret painting and however they translate it, I don't think it matters one way or another. But artist himself to go on creating, painting, as he works on he has to have things in his mind to build and rebuild. In order to go on this way, one has to have very clear feeling about the things he is painting.
   It isn't the shape or color but more braoder and in his very thing of hidden meaning in his mind. Although it may change shape as he goes on but generalized idea of his meaning in the painting should be carried out. So therefore for [x] artist himself it is very important.
   Sometimes he plays with it, romanticizes it, shifts it in many directions, as time goes on. Sometimes lets it go at that point. Some other time, these things appear to be very foolish and he goes to the other ap-proach of sober an d simple, carry it to the point where he himself cannot go any further.
