Summary

This quote by British author and philosopher Herbert Read suggests that art serves a unique purpose in expressing ideas or emotions that cannot be effectively conveyed through logical arguments. By using artistic mediums such as painting, sculpture, or literature, artists can communicate complex concepts or feelings that may be difficult to articulate verbally or through traditional means. Art has the power to transcend language barriers and reach a deeper level of understanding by evoking emotions, provoking thoughts, or creating a shared experience that resonates with individuals on an intuitive or sensory level.
