Each person sees something different in an abstract painting. It is important to honor this. A title can lead the viewer to see a certain image in a certain way, and once seen it is cannot be forgotten. By leaving a work of art “untitled,” it becomes possible for viewers to create their own titles and to see the painting uniquely, thus making a personal connection.
