James RozoffArt helps you connect to the world, not escape from it. That is the difference between art and entertainment.
About This Quote
The meaning of art is not to escape from life or to make us feel better about it. Art can connect us to the world, not separate us from it. It is in the ability of art to do this that it becomes so powerful. It is in art that we can find meaning and beauty in things that would otherwise be mundane. It is that which makes art so important.
