Evidence

“In every work of art, style is a promise. In being absorbed through style into the dominant form of universality, into the current musical, pictorial, or verbal idiom, what is expressed seeks to be reconciled with the idea of the true universal. This promise of the work of art to create truth by impressing its unique contours on the socially transmitted forms is as necessary as it is hypocritical.” Ibid., 103. — Anna Kornbluh, Immediacy, or The Style of Too Late…, 392 (#expands, via linked claim)
