Also,

"The purpose of art is washing the dust of daily life off our souls." - Pablo Picasso.

"The final purpse of art is to intensify, even, if necessary, to exacerbate, the moral consciousness of people." - Norman Mailer.

So, we might conclude that Pablo Picasso might have been a Nickelback fan but Norman Mailer probably wouldn't have been.
