"No longer can we consider what the artist does to be a self-contained activity, mysteriously inspired from above, unrelated and unreliable to other human activities. Instead, we recognize the exalted kindof seeing that leads to the creation of great art as an outgrowth of the humbler and more common activity of the eyes in everyday life. Just as the prosaic search for information is 'artistic' vecause it involves giving and finding shape and meaning, so the artist's conceiving is an instrument of life, a refined way of understanding who and where we are."
