Art Is Dangerous

Art is dangerous. It is one of the attractions; when it ceases to be dangerous, you don’t want it.
— Duke Ellington

I saw this quote by Duke Ellington and thought he is pretty spot on...not because it’s edgy for the sake of it, but because real art does something.

It nudges, interrupts and stirs a feeling you didn’t plan on having. When art stops making us shift, it can become decoration.

I’d rather feel rattled than forget it was ever there.
