Summary

This quote suggests that taste, as a fixed criteria or standard for judging art, is a subjective and unreliable concept. The artist creates beauty intuitively and instinctively, without consciously adhering to any particular definition or understanding of what is considered beautiful. Therefore, the quote hints at the idea that art should be free from preconceived notions or limitations imposed by taste, allowing artists to create without being bound by external expectations or opinions.
