"To curb the machine and limit art to handicraft is a denial of opportunity"
- Lewis Mumford
About this Quote
Lewis Mumford's quote speaks to the importance of allowing technology to be used in the creative process. He is suggesting that limiting art to handicraft is an injustice to the artist, as it rejects them the chance to check out the potential of innovation. By using innovation, artists can develop artworks that are more complex and detailed than what can be achieved through conventional handicraft. Innovation can likewise open up brand-new possibilities for creative expression, enabling artists to check out concepts and ideas that would otherwise be difficult. Mumford's quote is a suggestion that technology ought to not be seen as a barrier to imagination, but rather as a tool that can be used to improve and broaden the imaginative process.

"The opportunity to create a small world between two pieces of cardboard, where time exists yet stands still, where people talk and I tell them what to say, is exciting and rewarding"
