The artist in any field is the person who anticipates the effects in his own times, both of new knowledge and of his own actions. The art of remaking the world eternally new is achieved by careful and deliberate dislocation of ordinary perceptions. Even the surrealist had this ambition — to attain a fresh vision of the world by the juxtaposition of ordinary things, for example, the "fur-lined teacup" and "Mona Lisa's moustache."
