Stelios Kerasidis(7)- Isolation Valse ( το βαλς της απομόνωσης)

Helen Levitt, Children with Soap Bubbles, New York City, c. 1945

There is a conception of truth, a lack of illusion, an ability to overcome selfish obsessions, which goes with good art, and the artist has got to have that particular sort of moral stamina. Good art, whatever its style, has qualities of hardness, firmness, realism, clarity, detachment, justice, truth. It is the work of a free, unfettered, uncorrupted imagination…” —Iris Murdoch, at the 92Y
