Who would dare assign to art the sterile function of imitating nature?

By far the greatest part of those goods which are the objects of desire are procured by labour and they may be multiplied not in one country alone but in many almost without any assignable limit if we are disposed to bestow the labour necessary to obtain them.

Probably only an art-worlder like me could assign deeper meaning to something as simple and silly as Tebowing. But to us anytime people repeat a stance or a little dance alone or together we see that it can mean something. Imagistic and unspoken language is our thing.
