“Art is the objectification of feeling.”

Susanne K. Langer

Mind, An Essay on Human Feeling, vol. 1, pt. 2, ch. 4 (1967)

“The arts objectify subjective reality, and subjectify outward experience of nature. Art education is the education of feeling, and a society that neglects it gives itself up to formless emotion. Bad art is corruption of feeling.”

Susanne K. Langer
