"The aim of all commentary on art now should be to make works of art - and, by analogy, our own experience - more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means."

Something to be fixed. Something to be refused. Something that makes one feel powerless."

Philosophy
