“Artistic images can appeal powerfully to the emotions, kindling pity at human suffering or outrage at evil. Art that is ostentatiously didactic, having no other merit than that of the lesson it teaches, generally fails both as art and as teaching. This is often because it starts preaching or lecturing in propositional terms instead of moving its audience by artistic means.” [Gene Veith, State of the Arts (Wheaton, IL: Crossway Books, 1991), pp. 208]
