Good painting is like good cooking; it can be tasted, but no

Summary

This quote emphasizes the subjective nature of experiencing and appreciating art. Just as a delectable meal cannot be fully described through words, a truly remarkable painting cannot be entirely conveyed through explanations. It suggests that the true essence and impact of masterful artwork can only be truly understood and felt when directly experienced, surpassing any attempt to articulate its complex qualities. It acknowledges the limitations of language in describing the aesthetic pleasure and emotional resonance that art can evoke.
