Art is magical, but it’s not magic. It’s a neurological product, and we can study this neurological product the same way we study other complex processes such as language. — Charles Limb, neuroscientist
Creativity is allowing oneself to make mistakes. Art is knowing which ones to keep.
CAPITAL is at present the work sustaining ability. Money is not an economic value though. The two genuine economic values involve the connection between ability (creativity) and product. That explains the formula presenting the expanded concept of art: ART =CAPITAL.
Art is not a mirror held up to reality, but a hammer with which to shape it.
Art that cannot shape society and therefore also cannot penetrate the heart questions of society, and in the end influence the question of capital, is no art.
The artist has one function–to affirm and glorify life.
