The function of the artist is to disturb. His duty is to arouse the sleeper, to shake the complacent pillars of the world. He enters into the life of man, he becomes every man in himself. He reminds the world of its dark ancestry, and shows the world its present and points the way to its new birth. He is at once the product and preceptor, the chronicler and critic of his times. He makes uneasy the static, the set and the still. -Norman Bethune
