Summary
This quote raises the question of where the boundary lies between the influence of the external world and the creative expression of artists. It explores the blurred line between real-life experiences, emotions, and societal influences that may be transmitted to artists and the transformative process through which they channel these contagions into their art. It suggests that the point at which the outside world merges with an artist's perception and interpretation is the starting point for the creation of meaningful and impactful art.
