29th of August.
I recently had the the following quote posted to me " In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay.
And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must
show the world as changeable. And help to change it.”
― Ernst Fischer
I would therefore encourage you readers of this blog to comment and discuss the statement above, which I found very nutrious and stimulating.
