Abstract
Art has become incomprehensible. Perhaps nothing so much as this fact distinguishes art today from what it has been at any other place or time. Art has always been used, and thought of, as a means of interpreting the nature of world and life to human eyes and ears; but now, objects of art are apparently among the most puzzling implements man has ever made. Now it is they that need interpretation.
