Artist’s Corner: Herbert Marcuse on Art and Reality

“Art breaks open a dimension inaccessible to other experience, a dimension in which human beings, nature, and things no longer stand under the law of the established reality principle…The encounter with the truth of art happens in the estranging language and images which make perceptible, visible, and audible that which is no longer, or not yet, perceived, said, and heard in everyday life.”
― Herbert Marcuse

QOL: human, beauty, meaning and truth
