Summary

This quote emphasizes the ultimate purpose of art, which is to go beyond mere representation and create an experience that feels real and profound. It suggests that the true value of art lies in its ability to transport us to a realm of existence that is more significant and meaningful than our ordinary everyday lives. By using appearance and aesthetics, art strives to create an illusion that touches our senses, emotions, and intellect, enabling us to connect with a deeper and more profound reality.
