Who knows if Leonardo made Monalisa in order to have the dubious smile? Maybe he painted her just to paaint some weird woman without caring about the smile , but then other people noticed it and nowadays the painting is appreaciated because of that dubious smile. What if he was revived and said "gosh, I didn't really even attempt to do a dubious smile in this painting". Would the dubious smile be taken away? That's the great thing about art. It's somebody's creation? yes, but it can be appreaciated in different ways by different people, and as long as it is the artists call to have its work exposed to public, the public can react to that piece of work the way they want, not the way the artist wants.

er...no.
whether people like or dislike a piece of work and whether the artist likes or dislikes the same piece of work has got NOTHING to do with the message the artist intended to get across.
their intended message, if they had one, is irrefutable. that is what the song, or poem, or novel, or painting was supposed to convey, the very purpose of its creation. if other people interpret it a different way, then it is a failure, either on the part of the artist to convey their message, or the part of the audience on failing to perceive the true message.
people might find other meanings, but just because they can be found, doesn;t mean they are right. indeed, if you found one of these "alternative" meanings, you have ultimately missed the artist's message and therefore not grasped the meaning of the piece.
