Quote by Robert Motherwell

Wherever art appears, life disappears.

Summary

This quote suggests that when art is present, it tends to take precedence over everyday life. It implies that art has the power to capture one's attention and transport them into a different realm, where they become absorbed in the beauty and meaning created by artists. In this sense, art can be seen as a transformative force that momentarily severs the connection to reality, leaving behind the concerns and distractions of daily life.
