A Quick Aesthetic Quip

I just had a though.  Is art a manifestation of human's general detest for exposition?

I don't know if everyone hates long drawn out explanations - people who love and only read non-fiction are a good example.  However, I believe that most people hate having points made directly at them.  ("Don't lecture me," or "You think you know everything")  Humans love figuring things out for themselves and art gives people an opportunity to do that.  Especially, Modern and Postmodern art, which is why I feel that these tend to be the better artistic movements in history.

Yet there is definitely a fine line between too much exposition and too little exposition and I believe that the true artist can walk this line and everyone else is either making schlock or being pretentious.
