In art, we might produce "feelings" and "emotions" that stir the viewer in a certain way to "listen" and "look" differently than merely warning someone or shocking them.

Yes absolutely! It's the "vegetables are good for you, eat them" statement. Command = bad, realizing on your own = good. There are people who never grow out of this. Opposing commands for the sake of opposing. Because someone else has given them straight facts or commands but not thinking about it further.

When art is published, put on walls, shows, represented, it is talked about, people seeing it perhaps think about why the art is made and realize things on their own and that usually has a better impact than someone just telling you how things are. Then again people can also just claim that they didn't understand the art or the art was ugly and that they didn't like it.

I think we are about to write a theory of communicative art if we go deeper into this!

😀 Indeed. It's easy to go really deep when you love the topic. Get carried away. I am so glad you are just as enthusiastic about this as I am! And I appreciate your long replies so much.
