An artist's job is to make new clichés.

Grayson Perry
About This Quote

Artists take an ordinary situation and make it something new, creative, and inspiring. For example, the phrase “An artist’s job is to make new clichés” means that artists are creative and bring out the best in the world. If they didn’t make new clichés, their job wouldn’t be as fulfilling as it is now.
