I think this quote is emphasizing the true importance and the pureness art holds in a society that is mostly centered around the economy, banking systems, greed, power, and controlled media. Winterson is arguing the point that without art, we would be lost in a world with no creativity of thought and no freedom of expression which would leave us with an unconnected feeling. I agree with this quote and I too believe she summed it up perfectly when she wrote that art stands for the genius of the human spirit.
Jeanette Winterson was British novelist who wrote about gender polarities, sexual identities, and about testing the limits of imagination and physicality of human nature. She has won literary awards and her some of her work has been adapted to television and also on to the stage.
