To Hell with Culture Quotes

“The distinction between art and illusion is a distinction between a lost experience that has been recovered and made a part of the present
reality, and a lost experience that remains unconscious because it is screened in cliches and ready-made conventions of morality.
Someone has said that art is the invention of new cliches. It would be more to the point to define true education as the prevention of cliche formation-which is what I mean by education through art.”
― Herbert Read, To Hell with Culture
