Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of freedom in the creation of art. It suggests that truly meaningful and powerful artistic expression can only flourish when there is freedom to explore and experiment. However, the quote also acknowledges that art thrives within certain self-imposed constraints - rules and limitations that artists willingly impose on themselves. On the other hand, when outside restrictions and limitations are forced upon art, it stifles creativity and dulls its essence. Ultimately, the quote suggests that freedom is essential for art to live and thrive.
