There's no being wrong in seeing something in art only being disagreed with.
Actually I think Art lies in both directions - the broad strokes big picture but on the other hand the minute examination of the apparently mundane. Seeing the whole world in a grain of sand that kind of thing.
The commonality between science and art is in trying to see profoundly - to develop strategies of seeing and showing.
There are neither good nor bad subjects. From the point of view of pure Art you could almost establish it as an axiom that the subject is irrelevant style itself being an absolute manner of seeing things.

Egotism: The art of seeing in yourself what others cannot see.
Vision is the art of seeing what is invisible to others.
