object-of-art

The concept of encounter also enables us to make clearer the important distinction between talent and creativity. Talent may well have its neurological correlates and can be studied as __iven_ to a person. A man or woman may have talent whether he or she uses it or not; talent can probably be measured in the person as such. But creativity can be seen only in the act. If we were purists, we would not speak of a __reative person,_ but only of a creative act.

Escapist creativity is that which lacks encounter.

In time, all great masterpieces turn into shameless creatures who laugh at their creators.

The object of art is to give life a light through which you can imagine and see the world.
