art.

" If the limits of art are to be set in advance by the tape measure of mediocre appreciation, by and by we shall have no more art. The essence of art is that it is unique and distinguishable - the expression of the most creative moment of a uniquely creative talent and personality. It is begotten of sensitive and humble appreciation of the greatness, not the littleness, of life; of the eternal wonder of birth, death and love; of insight into great laws of rhythm and form, point and counterpoint, in colour and sound. It exalts, not men, but Man, not at the average, but at his most creative and Godlike.

All great art ... creates in the beholder not self-satisfaction, but wonder and awe. Its great liberation is to lift us out of ourselves. "
