To put it another way, art speaks to the circumstances of the soul, which cannot be improved, or even changed, materially, though its facticity can be brought into the consciousness of the audience, which often has forgotten the soul (or has forgotten the importance of attending to it). This dynamic (between artwork and audience) poses a problem for the modern person, at least, it seems, in the West, where we have been conditioned to believe that something has no worth, or even reality, if it cannot be expressed or described.
