Summary

This quote suggests that art has the power to hide the true identity and intentions of the artist. While some may believe that art is a genuine reflection of the artist's inner self, this perspective argues that art actually obscures and keeps the artist hidden. It implies that the interpretation and perception of art is subjective and may not always align with the artist's intentions, making it difficult to truly ascertain the artist's identity through their creations.
