"To have the art experience is to change places with the object. It is for one to become still, to become frozen in one's tracks, to leave one's body for a brief moment, to stand outside oneself and reflect on one's life meaning by looking through the object, which now stares back. It is a profoundly complex process of identification and transference."
Eric Fischl, from his essay "A Meditation on the Death of Painting", The Phillips Collection Fall 2008 magazine.
