The nature of art
Tion through the imagination holds for the phantasy play of the child. The lonely child that creates. F self a dream - companion and carries, on an animated conversation, with it the little girl playing as we, say with a doll,,, But actually with an imaginary baby are both, satisfying an interest or habit though, an ideal substitute object; like the. Dreamer and, the artistThey are creating a world out of fancies to meet their desires. It is correct there-fore to speak of art a dream - a waking. Dream - in both there is the same creativeness; the same absorption in immediacy; and yet it is clear that mere dreaming. Is not art.

Mind and in yours will differ;Yet there will be a core of meaning that will be the same; and this sameness will grow greater and approximate the meaning. Of the poet as we, study the poem more carefully. Sometimes no definite meaning but only, a mood will, be communicated as. When we read. Gertrude Stein 's Portrait, of Picasso a mood that the writer may that mistake for the essence of the object-but. Does not matter.
