Most real art critics (which is what we all are believe it or not) will tell you that it doesn't matter what the painting meant to the artist, it only matters what it means to you.

If it means something, then appreciate it for that. If it means nothing, then move on to the next one.

And yeah, some galleries would sell a childs painting for a million bucks if they thought they could get away with it, but if someone's silly enough to pay money for something because someone else tells them they should then more fool them in my opinion.
