“The person who appreciates a great work of art has the feeling that the work grows in him as he becomes involved in a prolonged capturing of emerging marginal meanings. He feels that he, too, is creative, that he himself is adding to his experience and understanding. Moreover, he wants to confront the work of art many times. He is not easily tired of it, as he would be had he read a purely logical statement. He realizes that the work of art does not merely transmit information; it produces pleasure.” WantFeelsPersonsDoeArtFeelingsWould BeGrowsUnderstandingRealizingPleasureCreativeInformationProduceInvolvedAppreciateTiredStatementsLogicalWorks Of ArtGreat WorkEmergingTransmit Book:Creativity: The Magic Synthesis Source: Creativity: The Magic Synthesis
