The Art of Disenchantment

The art serves as a screen. It's a kind of defense mechanism, but I was also suggesting that the art is more emotionally effective. You can tell people things through art that you can't tell them through prose. Prose can be art too. That's true. But when we get to the modern age, the 19th century, 20th century, we have this view of we have to demystify everything. We need to get out of the artwork and we need to say what's really going on.
