Index Entry
“. . . Professional word-and-picture factories” have “manufactured the greatest and most persuasively erroneous myths, but theyve have also robbed our heritage of word-and-picture language of its incisively exquisite effectiveness. The primary tools of men have been blunted and misappropriated. Bereft of the age-long developed tools, artists of our day have sought for new and vital means of communication. The beatnik is the anti-body of Madison Avenue. The true artist seeks escape from the stalemated vacuum of the two. History tells us that they will probably be successful. The probability is that the artists will win enjoyment of our whole earth by all the world’s people-- with complete emancipation of man’s innate freshness and regenerative conceptioning.”
