Some critics
Egotistical and
career-fuelled individualism should be banished, just as feeling
sorry for ourselves should. What we should always bear in mind
is that artists are always harbingers of values, and artists are
always their tireless defenders in the face of indifference,
generalised hostility and incomprehension, enemies that should
always be fought off with stubbornness and determination,
refusing to be bowed under by them and attacking them
unexpectedly and suddenly on all fronts; because truth, which is
beauty in a work of art, not only can but ought to reign supreme
on this earth. Not fighting for this presupposes passively
accepting the widespread dissemination of the new forms of
barbarity that are typifying our times. Art has to attack
conformist society like a powerful acid, not by backing what or
who profess, either thanks to the resonance or fame they bring
to bear, or those whom we might be led to believe detain art and
have the ability to evaluate it and, in fact, impose it, but by
backing art itself. Art itself must claim this victory in its
relationship with the public, a public that is able to grow and
that is therefore neither elitist nor factious. (excerpt)
