Excellent example!

  1. A name that isn't telling you what to think. In fact, many would posit that the subtleties in the peice which enable such fundamental disagreement between it's appreciators, have a great deal to do with it's popularity.

  2. Piece was named, as all great art, by collectors, not by artist, and given a name that attempts to factually describe the subject. See: Van Gogh's Wheatfield With Crows or Sunflowers. If either of these were named for an emotion like "Longing" or "Nostalgia" they would instantly loose all mystery and dimension.
