Quote by George Jean Nathan

Great art is as irrational as great music. It is mad with its own loveliness.

Great art is as irrational as great music. It is mad with it

Summary

This quote suggests that great art, like great music, possesses an irrational quality. It implies that both forms of artistic expression exceed rationality and logic, instead embracing a form of madness that stems from their own inherent beauty and power. It emphasizes the captivating and enchanting nature of exceptional art, which can invoke emotions and awe in a way that cannot be fully explained or understood through rational analysis alone.
