I have to assume that everybody interprets a piece of art they're exposed to as if it's already perfect in its wholeness, without knowing any backstory.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
When you look at art made by other people, you see what you need to see in it.
The work of art is always unfaithful to its creator... Art lays at a higher level; it says something more, and almost always, it says something different from what the artist wanted to say.
The finest works of art are precious, among other reasons, because they make it possible for us to know, if only imperfectly and for a little while, what it actually feels like to think subtly and feel nobly.
You know, I just don't believe that art is supposed to make sense. I really don't think it's supposed to be analyzed to death. It's left to the listener or looker to get what they can get from it.
There is a deep question whether the possible meanings that emerge from an effort to explain the experience of art may not mask the real meanings of a work of art.
I cannot tell good art from bad art. I have no eye for it.
I think with anything where you delve into the back story of an artist, it kind of explains their work more intimately.
Originality depends only on the character of the drawing and the vision peculiar to each artist.
I see things like they've never been seen before. Art is an accurate statement of the time in which it is made.
Art is not what you see, but what you make others see.
