From "Moving Pictures" by Arthur C. Danto

"To understand what art then is requires us to avert our eyes from the manifested appearances of things and ask what it is that does not meet the eye, which is what makes the difference between art and reality - where knowledge of this difference then makes the difference in our experiences of objects as art works or as real things."

-p 214 of Philosophizing Art, a collection of essays by Arthur Danto.
