It is the artist's function not to copy but to synthesise: to eliminate from that gross confusion of actuality which is his raw material whatever is accidental, idle, irrelevant, and select for perpetuation that only which is appropriate and immortal.
艺术家的职责不是复制,而是综合:从作为他原材料的现实的混乱中消除任何偶然的、空闲的、无关紧要的东西,并选择只有恰当的和不朽的东西来永存。
