art

A successful actor is praised for never giving up his dreams to become someone else for a living but to dream to be an unmasked artist is a mortal sin in a consumerist society. Artists don't consume; they create things that can__ be consumed with riches. You consume art by seeing, by listening, by feeling, never by buying.

Everyday objects shriek aloud.

Art is everywhere.

That day I behaved like a good artist, one whose job is to build rather than break.

I could either succumb to the nightmares I__e raised or paint them.

From personal adversity comes great art

There's nothing more difficult than a line.

Photography is like exploring a new dimension, only I can go there but I can show you where I've been.

Never be ashamed of your creativity. It simply shows everyone of how you can express your emotions through art

All art is a form of vulnerability because at least part of the artist goes into the piece.

In the end the soul is itself the longing of the soulless for salvation.

And I see a lot of us, the producers, who write the books and make the books, accepting this--letting commodity profiteers sell us like deodorant, and tell us what to publish, what to write. Books aren't just commodities; the profit motive is often in conflict with the aims of art. We live in capitalism. Its power seems inescapable--but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings. Resistance and change often begin in art. Very often in our art, the art of words.

Feet on the ground, head in the clouds. That's how giants walk.

My father said that artists see the world differently than normal people. I see a tree where you mights see a collection of lines, shapes, and shadows.

All my life__ work will drain away without ever being realized. For a sculptor, working with their hands is crucial and hands must be supported by a strong and supple back. And I work with sturdy materials that need dexterity and strength to handle _ metal and stone and sometimes even bricks! How do I do any of it now?

I believe that when you step into uncharted territory, you are also stepping into total abandonment, potential humiliation, and a space where nothing is guaranteed; there__ no case study or roadmap. I have so much respect for anybody who will step away from what they can do in order to find what they must do. That__ a hallmark characteristic of entrepreneurs and artists. And it__ scary and exciting as all hell.

This was a family that consumed attractive, talented people. Its aim was to preserve beauty and genius through the centuries. For all eternity. To bottle the spark of magic that flares up in the soul of an artist, to preserve in wax the pain that is born in the heart of an actor, to dry and store the subtle, shifting images that hover above the head of a writer.Madness. They didn't realize it was impossible. As the years pass by, feelings and emotions are blunted. And thousands of years of life kill all feelings. The soul becomes cold. It can't burn anymore. The farys took away from humans the one thing that I sought and valued in them most of all__heir bright, vital feelings.

I am the Constellation of my own
