Freedom and fullness of expression are of the essence of the art.

Virginia Woolf
About This Quote

The essence of art is freedom and full expression. This is the reason why art should be free to all people. Freedom of expression has always been an essential part of art. The freedom to express oneself freely without fear of reprisal is what drives people to create art.

When art is suppressed it loses its meaning and ceases to exist. This is why freedom of expression is so important to the creation of art.
