I don't think you can say something lacks meaning because it is not understood. I wouldn't say a German book lacks meaning just because I can't read German.

In all seriousness this is much more of a strawman than anything I said. I think you would be hard-pressed to find truly meaningless art, and intentionally creating meaningless art would be expression of its own sort.

edit: I also reject the idea that art must be understood without the title, expression can be the whole package.

a lot of people who hate abstract art think art should just be about the skill to replicate reality instead of conveying feeling or a vibe, and that seems kind of empty to me
