Now there's these weird people who care so much whether it's up or down. It's art, it's there to invoke emotion. If you don't like it who cares move on lol. People get so worked up over modern art style.

Put it this way If say you bought a really nice red shirt, but it was actually a mistake the designer intended for it to be blue. Does that mean you're stupid to like the shirt or anyone else who did?

The painting is simplistic lines, the orientation while part of it's composition is obviously easy to mistake. Doesn't somehow now make the work meaningless or stupid. My favorite painting is Jackson Pollock's August rhythm. You could probably flip it in any orientation I would honestly not be able to tell the difference.
