Elizabeth Bishop Quotes
Shklovsky, "Art As Technique" (1917)
Art Exists That One May Recover The Sensation Of Life; It Exists To Make One Feel Things, To
make The Stone
stony
. The Purpose Of Art Is To Impart The Sensation Of Things As They Are
perceived And Not As They Are Known. The Technique Of Art Is To Make Objects
"unfamiliar," To Make Forms Difficult, To Increase The Difficulty And Length Of Perception
because The Process Of Perception Is An Aesthetic End In Itself And Must Be Prolonged.
Art
is A Way Of Experiencing The Artfulness Of An Object; The Object Is Not Important.
