“The charge laid on the artist, and in particular on the writer, is not to bring back visions but to play the Court photographer. Is this anathema to art? Is this anti-art? I think so. What art presents is much more than the daily life of you and me, and the original role of the artist as visionary is the correct one.” —Jeanette Winterson (Art Objects)
