Autonomous = Preposterous?

Can images be made that don’t express any values? Can the artist remove their own values from their art making process? Can an artist make religious artwork that does not express some type of value about that very religion? Can artwork be autonomous? How does an artist do this?


Well, i always think that nothing can be created without meaning. Images cannot be without meaning, let alone images created by artists. It's like man is created either man or woman (or sometimes neutral if sombebody wants to...at most 3 choices.)Images are too. foley_samantha mentioned in the former posts that "the only way that an artist would have artwork that is autonomous would be with photography."But I think even the photography has to be with  meaning as long as it's created. Taking picture of the same scene, different artists will come up with different pictures with distinguished angel and stress on different things. All kinds of value are exhibited in the created works, telling audience which is considered important, whether in a tangible way or intangible way~

Additionally, however, we presume that images themselves are without any value. The audience, who have to see and interprete and fulfil the prosedure of vision, are people with certain values. Thus the result of seeing is to add value to the certain artwork.
