About this Quote

This quote by Clive Bell talks with the power of art to evoke emotion in people. He recommends that all individuals who are sensitive to art can agree that there is an unique feeling that is prompted by artworks.

Art can be an effective device for self-expression as well as can aid individuals to connect with each other on a deeper level.
