‘Art, in a sense, is a revolt against everything fleeting and unfinished in the world. Consequently, its only aim is to give another form to a reality that it is nevertheless forced to preserve as the source of its emotion. In this regard we are all realistic, and no one is’ (Albert Camus). Discuss with reference to ANY of the core texts or songs studied on this module (MLAC3129)
