Sometimes words are not needed, and the simplicity of expressing yourself through an art form is one of the best ways of communication.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Just because people can express themselves through their art doesn't mean they are great communicators in person.
The goal of art-making in general is communication.
I have trouble with modern art. But in general, all art forms fascinate me - art is the way human beings express what we can't say in words.
I understand why people went nuts for 'The Artist.' We use words so much, it's nice to be able to explore a different way of communication, to be able to express silently what someone - or something - is thinking or feeling.
It's good for art to make us think, to give us a shared experience that creates a dialogue, makes us talk to each other, including strangers.
Sometimes I make things that people have very strong responses to. Whether that's art, I don't know. That's one of those words that doesn't mean anything. It's why I don't just use words.
Self-expression must pass into communication for its fulfillment.
Any art communicates what you're in the mood to receive.
Art is essentially communication. It doesn't exist in a vacuum. That's why people make art, so other people can relate to it.
Art must unquestionably have a social value; that is, as a potential means of communication it must be addressed, and in comprehensible terms, to the understanding of mankind.
