Once It Is Recognized That Productive Thinking

The Arts, As A Reflection Of Human Existence At Its Highest, Have Always And Spontaneously Lived Up To This Demand Of Plenitude. No Mature Style Of Art In Any Culture Has Ever Been Simple.

Form Is Sometimes Considered A Mere Spice Added By The Artist To The Representation Of Objects In Order To Make It Pleasurable.

Art Is Continually Working To Take The Crust Of Familiarity Off Everyday Objects.

Once It Is Recognized That Productive Thinking In Any Area Of Cognition Is Perceptual Thinking, The Central Function Of Art In General Education Will Become Evident.

Just As A Chemist "isolates" A Substance From Contaminations That Distort His View Of Its Nature And Effects, So The Work Of Art Purifies Significant Appearance. It Presents Abstract Themes In Their Generality, But Not Reduced To Diagrams.
