Quote by Marilyn French

One thing that makes art different from life is that in art things have a shape... it allows us to fix our emotions on events at the moment they occur, it permits a union of heart and mind and tongue and tear.

One thing that makes art different from life is that in art

Summary

This quote highlights that art is distinct from real life because it provides tangible form to the abstract nature of human emotions and experiences. Unlike in life where events can be fleeting and intangible, art captures the essence of these moments, allowing us to grasp and express emotions more effectively. By giving shape to our feelings, art enables a deeper connection between our emotions, thoughts, words, and tears, facilitating a more profound understanding and expression of the human experience.
