About This Quote
The riskiness of Art, the reason why it affects us, is not the riskiness of its subject matter, it is the risk of creating a new way of seeing, a new way of thinking. The saying goes that Truth exists beyond the reach of Man and that a person can only see a tiny part of it through their eyes. Art is meant to bring this Truth to the masses by using the people's eyes.
