WESTERN ART AND THE NEW ERA
peating the past — weighed down by the mental atmosphere
which considers everything mad which is not conventional —
discouraged by being surrounded by ‘unseeing eyes’ and
people who can only associate art as a handmaiden, not as
a free goddess with the right to exist for herself alone!
— who never give art her freedom or the right to express
herself, or cannot understand why art should want to be
free; why she should not remain content to continue in
the path she has always trod, which to them is so pleas-
ing— until the creative artist rises in rebellion and says:
•—“Why should I give my life’s blood just to please —
let me create.”
