The original and complete form of 从中 is 从什么什么中 (from something, among something). For example, 有人却从（这些艺术作品）中感受到对自由、对生命的赞美。

IMO, "From it" = 从它, 它 is the 作品, a "作品" is for visualization/reading. "From within" = 从中, 中 represents the 作品中的涵義, which is something for understanding and learning. Though the difference between the two is quite small.

What is the meaning of 从中?

My understanding is that "中" is like "it", "that", and "which" in English. "从中" means "from it" (from something that is mentioned in the context).

For example, 读完 莫言 的 小说，我 从中 学到 很多 的 东西。(After reading MoYan's novel, I learned a lot from it. ）

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)

However, some other people are able to feel the admiration of the artists for freedom and life from their art.
