The value and life of images becomes most interesting, then, when they appear as the center of a social crisis. —W. J. T. Mitchell


The value and life of images becomes most interesting, then, when they appear as the center of a social crisis. Debates over the quality of this or that artwork are interesting, but they are merely minor skirmishes in a much larger theater of social conflict that seems invariably to be focused on the value of images as much as it is on “real” values such as food, territory, and shelter. — 「 What Do Pictures Want?」 , W. J. T. Mitchell
