The artist stands in opposition to nature. It is true that art is nature in miniature; but there is always a tendency in the artist, as he observes nature, to run counter to nature. He observes and molds and creates and improves and originates; and that is why there is always a tendency in him that leads him away from the natural course of things; that is why perversion is often found among artists. |
