Every artist knows in his heart that he is saying something

to the public. Not only he want to say it well, but he wants it         S1       

to be something that has not said before. He hopes the public will     S2      

listen and understand—he wants to teach them, and he wants them

to learn from him.

What visual artists like painters want to teach are quite easy to make S3      

out and difficult to explain, because painters translate their experiences S4      

into shapes and colors, not words. They seem to feel that a certain

selection of shapes and colors, out of the countless millions impossible,   

are exceptionally interesting for them and worth showing to us.       S5      

With their work we should never have noticed these particular shapes S6      

and colors, or have felt the delight which it brought to the artist.        S7      

If one painter chooses to paint a deformed (畸形的)leg and a lake in

moonlight, each of which is directing our attention to a certain aspect of world. S8      

Each painter is telling us something, shows us something,emphasizing somethingS9      

—not all of which means that, consciously or unconsciously, he is      S10      

trying to teach us.
