Thought is more important than art. To revere art and have no understanding of the process that forces it into existence, is finally not even to understand what art is.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I think there are a lot more important things than art in the world. But not to me.
The modern world thinks of art as very important: something close to the meaning of life.
You can understand nothing about art, particularly modern art, if you do not understand that imagination is a value in itself.
The understanding of art depends finally upon one's willingness to extend one's humanity and one's knowledge of human life.
Whether art is defined as a representation of or response to reality, it demands an intense engagement with things we haven't managed to understand fully.
The main thing in making art often is letting go of your expectation and your idea.
Artists today think of everything they do as a work of art. It is important to forget about what you are doing - then a work of art may happen.
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 is not necessary at all. All that is necessary to make this world a better place to live in is to love - to love as Christ loved, as Buddha loved.
What strikes me is the fact that in our society, art has become something which is only related to objects, and not to individuals, or to life.
