Have always thought that the preface to Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray is probably the best appraisal of art I have ever read. Reading it again today, I was dwelling a little bit on the line
"It is the spectator, and not life, that art really mirrors."Found that deeply insightful just now, and wanted to share it.

my friend Sean from chicago has told me something along those same lines. he majored in "being a film director" and he basically said that what the writer/director/"creator" intends and what the audience gets out of it almost never, and nor should it, have anything at all to do with one another.
