Summary

This quote suggests that artwork itself does not express or promote specific beliefs or perspectives. Instead, viewpoints or opinions are external to art, representing the personal convictions of individuals unconnected to the artistic process. It implies that the primary purpose of art is not to convey particular ideologies but to evoke emotions, inspire thought, or stimulate introspection in those who experience it. Art allows for personal interpretation and encourages engagement, transcending the confines of fixed ideologies to create a space for individual reflection and understanding.
