“In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful…”

This deeply resonates with me and I share it here:

“In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful,

must also reflect decay.

And unless it wants to break faith with its social function,

art must show the world as changeable.

And help to change it.”

~ Ernst Fischer
