To some extent it is like understanding the science of what makes a Joke work.

The expected is not funny.

Those who expect the unexpected don't think the joke was funny either if they manage to predict the punch line.

Those who expect the unexpected and really do get the unexpected or surprise will see the joke as humourous.

I think much can be said of an image or art. Does it exercise the brain ?
