All great leaders find a sense of balance through their levels of reception. For instance, those who support a leader may soften him, those who ignore him may challenge him, and those who oppose him may stroke his ego.

Painting, by its nature, cannot provide an object of simultaneous collective reception... as film is able to do today...

Thus, the same public which reacts progressively to a slapstick comedy inevitably displays a backward attitude toward Surrealism.
