About This Quote
Most great artists define a new and unique region of hell. Instead of giving us a place to go to be punished for our misdeeds, most great artists use their talent to give us a way to escape from that very same punishment. From Shakespeare to Picasso, painters and writers have used the power of art to get us out of trouble.
