Summary

This quote reflects a concern about the way art is perceived and valued in modern society. The speaker suggests that art is now seen primarily as something connected to physical objects, such as paintings or sculptures, rather than as an expression of individual experiences or an exploration of life itself.

It highlights a shift in societal attitudes towards art, emphasizing the need to reestablish a deeper connection between art and the individuals and life it seeks to portray.
