- Object Description
- Text reads: "Artistic truth is not determined by a full correspondence between art and ideology. But neither is determined - and this differentiates it from scientific knowledge - by a complete congruence with an objective reality existing apart from an independently of man. In a painting or a poem about a tree for example, what we have is not a tree in itself or a tree as seen by a botanist, but rather a humanized tree - a tree that attests to human presence." "Adolfo Sanchez Vaszquez"
