“Art galleries … ought to be temples where, in still and silent humility and in heart-lifting solitude, we may admire great artists as the highest among mortals… with long, stead-fast contemplation of their works … I com-pare the enjoyment of nobler works of art to prayer… Works of art, in their way, no more fit into the common flow of life than does the thought of God … That day is for me a sacred holiday which … I devote to the contemplation of noble works of art.”
Wilhelm Wackenroder
