Quote by Paul Klee

Art does not reproduce what we see rather, it makes us see.

Art does not reproduce what we see rather, it makes us see.

Summary

This quote by Paul Klee suggests that art has the power to go beyond mere replication. Instead of simply recreating the visible world, art seeks to stimulate our perception and understanding. It implies that art has the ability to present familiar subjects in a new light or depict abstract concepts, enabling us to perceive and experience them in different ways. Art, therefore, entails a transformative process that opens our eyes and allows us to explore deeper meanings and interpretations, expanding our understanding and appreciation of the world around us.

There is nothing we can now call our own, for what we call so is the effect of art; crimes are made by decrees of the senate, or by the votes of the people; and as here-to-fore we are burdened by vices, so now we are oppressed by laws.
