A work of art has, properly speaking, not meaning but power.
Its presumed meaning is the historical form of its power on the transitory spectator.

    The original Spanish is:

    La obra de arte no tiene propiamente significado sino poder.
    Su presunto significado es la forma histórica de su poder sobre el espectador transitorio.
