"Aside from issues of technical skill, one of the ways we identify greatness in artistic accomplishment is the kind of nourishment we find in its symbols. The less-developed artist creates symbols that hold smaller truths, that evoke experiences less likely to connect to many parts of many people, that offer generalized insights, that remain vague. Master artists create symbols that open worlds of rewarding exploration, that manage to tap something deep in many people, that activate specific lively responsive chords, that work on subtle levels so that we keep connecting in new ways when we return."
