About This Quote
Whenever people think about art, they think about the power of art to express or capture certain emotions or experiences. They also think about the financial benefits that artists receive when they produce good art. However, when art is viewed in terms of power, profit and self-interest, it loses its greatest power. The greatest part of art lies in its ability to move an audience emotionally.
This is one of the reasons why works of art continue to be produced despite their limitations in quality and how many people they are able to reach. Art feeds people’s need for beauty, romance and wonder.
