art

if you have to wait for it to roar out ofyou,then wait patiently.if it never does roar out of you,do something else.

Art expresses those unexplainable thoughts of our soul.

The best thing about Art is that the people who create it live forever.

To cherish perfection is to commit creative suicide, and every true artist knows that a masterpiece is an accident that should be burned.

All art is the result of one__ having been in danger of having gone through an experience all the way to the end when no one can go any further. This is what it is like to be an artist _ you are unsteady on the edge of life like a swan before an anxious launching of himself on the floods where he is gently caught.

The relentless persistence of Light eventually exhausts darkness.

I had considered myself some kind of genius and had considerably underestimated the toils and difficulties encountered along the path to an art.

Inspiration fans the flame of creation.

Winter brings a colder palette with more heavy blue and violet, Fall has substantial more reddish and brown, Summer brings a variation of pastel colours and Spring fresh green and tangerine.

The extent of creativity to which I admire in an individual is his ability to be richly creative while still, in a way, telling the truth. It is the fool who creates only his own lies, and the bore who simply repeats what he is told.

Communication is an art form that is crafted throughout our lives.

...those works that don't touch the heart, it seems to me, miss the true aim of Art.

The absence of models, in literature as in life, to say nothing of painting, is an occupational hazard for the artist, simply because models in art, in behavior, in growth of spirit and intellect--even if rejected--enrich and enlarge one's view of existence. Deadlier still, to the artist who lacks models, is the curse of ridicule, the bringing to bear on an artist's best work, especially his or her most original, most strikingly deviant, only a fund of ignorance and the presumption that as an artist's critic one's judgement is free of the restrictions imposed by prejudice, and is well informed, indeed, about all the art in the world that really matters.

All good art is political. Between the lines of every book, the author implants messages for the unsuspecting reader. If not, what point does it serve?

Obstacles cannot crush me. Every obstacle yields to stern resolve. He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind.

Art never comes from happiness

Feedback doesn__ tell you about yourself. It tells you about the person giving the feedback. In other words, if someone says your work is gorgeous, that just tells you about *their* taste. If you put out a new product and it doesn__ sell at all, that tells you something about what your audience does and doesn__ want. When we look at praise and criticism as information about the people giving it, we tend to get really curious about the feedback, rather than dejected or defensive.

I wish to approach truth as closely as is possible, and therefore I abstract everything until I arrive at the fundamental quality of objects.
