“You are right to demand that an artist engage his work consciously, but you confuse two different things: solving the problem and correctly posing the question.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)

“Fine art, that exists for itself alone, is art in a final state of impotence. If nobody, including the artist, acknowledges art as a means of knowing the world, then art is relegated to a kind of rumpus room of the mind and the irresponsibility of the artist and the irrelevance of art to actual living becomes part and parcel of the practice of art.”
—Angela Carter (1940–1992)
