People often have opinions about art, but can art itself have an opinion?

This work is by Armando, one of the co-founders of the Dutch Nul, or ‘zero’, movement. The aim of their art was to express absolutely nothing. To them, art should instead present everyday reality in an objective manner, so we can see it for what it is, without getting carried away by meaning or emotion.
