“… Works of art that are not removed from the events of daily life and that are widely enjoyed by the community are symbols—symbols of a unified collective life. At the same time, they serve as remarkable supports in the creation of such a life. The recreation of experiential material in the act of expression is not an isolated process, confined to the artist and a random individual who happens to appreciate the work. To the extent that art fulfills its function, it is a recreation of communal experience directed toward greater order and unity. …”
