How can 从中 mean "from it" in this sentence: 有人却从中感受到对自由?

[Confucius_Pythagoras]

抽象派画家的作品中经常见到好像随便洒上颜料而形成的画作，在有人看来极其神秘甚至丑陋，有人却从中感受到对自由、对生命的赞美。

 

This is from the Standard Course Book of HSK5, chapter 18.

 

What is the meaning of 从中?

 

According to dictionaries, 从中 is an adverb meaning "from". 

 

I am here:

 

有人(some people)却(however)从中(from)感受到(feel)对(towards)自由(freedom)、对(towards)生命(life)的赞美(admiration / eulogization)

 

As you can see, I cannot make it make sense...

 

Some say that 从中 means "from it" or "从它" but I cannot synchronize it with the dictionaries.

 

Any help?

[Woodford]

I like to think that the implication of 从中 is "from the middle of" or "from within." What's implied here (but not expressly stated) would be the 作品 in the beginning. It's in (or in the midst of) the works of art that people observe certain qualities.
