>>>Perception

Nothing exists until or unless it is observed. An artist is making something exist by observing it. And his hope for other people is that they will also make it exist by observing it. I call it "creative observation." Creative viewing.

William Burroughs (b. 1914), U.S. author. Painting and Guns, "The Creative Observer" (1992).

 

>>>Art

A primary function of art and thought is to liberate the individual from the tyranny of his culture in the environmental sense and to permit him to stand beyond it in an autonomy of perception and judgment.

Lionel Trilling (1905-75), U.S. critic. Beyond Culture, Preface (1965).
