attitude.

As the unity
of the modern world becomes increasingly a technological
rather than a social affair, the techniques of the arts
provide the most valuable means of insight into the real
direction of our own collective purposes.

Communications Theorist
Experiment is
necessary in establishing an academy, but certain principles
must apply to this business of art as to any other business
which affects the artistic tic sense of the community. Great
art speaks a language which every intelligent person can
understand. The people who call themselves modernists today
speak a different language.
-- Robert Menzies
1894-1978, Australian Liberal
