“Art is not a mirror to reflect reality, but a hammer to shape it …” -Bertolt Brecht


I found this quote doing research and misquoted it as 
siebren versteeg.
I am working on a project that has to do with this artist, and his upcoming show at RISD. I am really looking forward to it.

    Yaara,
    Just thought I'd let you know that is a quote from Bertolt Brecht, not me. Not sure where you found the quotation, but I am pretty sure I would have made the reference implicit.

    I am so sorry about that! I think my teacher handed me a project sheet, and attributed this quote to you. I am going to check my records or it will drive me crazy!

    its the sad truth of the internet- misquotations abound.

    thanks for viewing my blog.
