What is the relationship of the artist to the art, in Hirsch's opinion? Consider these lines: "[The house] is so desperately empty, / It must have done something to the sky / Because the sky, too, is utterly vacant / And devoid of meaning" and "[All the things this man paints] will have this same expression, / The utterly naked look of someone / Being stared at, someone American and gawky. / Someone who is about to be left alone / Again, and can no longer stand it." a. The artist creates representations of an idealized world in which he hopes to live. c. The artist believes that art is meaningless. b.
