The arts are life accelerated and concentrated. Art is not for the cultivated taste. It is to cultivate a taste. Always Art is Art, only by presenting an adequate outward symbol of some fact in the interior life. At is a kind of artificial memory and the pain which attends all serious art is a sense or that factitiousness.
Art is a framework, a kind of living trellis, on which public dreaming can take shape.
Art must take reality by surprise. Art is the objectification of feeling, and the subjectification of nature. Art is not emotion. Art is the medium in which emotion is expressed. Art is the indispensable medium for the communication of a moral idea.
