Unit 5

Often it seems that the attempts to introduce artistic experience as a remedy for emotional suffering are comparable to the reintroduction of vitamins into foods that have lost their innate vitality through excessive processing. The dangers are even greater. Our vitamin-enriched bread, for instance, remains inferior in taste and quality to the bread that was baked before the original flavor was lost and before vitamins were discovered. Artificial art programs in hospitals, prisons, or treatment homes are frequently just as flavorless and dull as the boiled cotton that goes by the name of bread.
