Joseph Beuys:
Well, no knowledge in a direct way. Art is not there to provide knowledge
in direct ways. It produces deepened perceptions of experience. More must
happen than simply logically understandable things. Art is not there to be
simply understood, or we would have no need of art. It could then just be
logical sentences in a form of a text for instance.
