Cumulative Record. Chapter 25: Creating the Creative Artist. Quote 4

If art springs from an inner life which is truly original, in the sense that it begins with the artist, then there is nothing to be done beyond giving the artist an opportunity. It is much more promising, however, to argue that the achievements of the artist can be traced to the world in which he lives, for we can then begin to examine that world not only to explain the achievements but also to find the means of taking practical steps.
